ORQUESTRA PACIFICO TROPICAL
Over the past decade, Orquestra Pacifico Tropical has built a reputation for explosive and exciting sets of electrifying, psychedelic cumbia. They’ve performed at music festivals around the Pacific Northwest, including Treefort Music Fest, PDX Pop Now!, Freakout, Lose Yr Mind, Soul’d Out, Biamp Portland Jazz Festival and more, with live shows that have been described as a “jubilant rhythmic frenzy” and “mind-altering”. OPT has been proud to share the stage at beautiful theaters and hails around the PNW with legendary acts like Ural Thomas and the Pain, Y La Bamba, Thee Sacred Souls, The Dandy Warhols, Edna Vasquez and many other incredible groups. Their third album “El Poder” will be released on June 19th, 2026.
On a gloomy Pacific Northwest weekend in November 2020, OPT started writing new material at a beach-side cabin for what would become their third full length album, “El Poder”. The cloudy, overcast mood of the coastal forest afforded obvious inspiration which could subsequently be heard on the demo recordings. A warm, inviting Living-room-session amongst close friends, truly allowed for spontaneous creativity and earnest musicianship at a crucial developmental stage in the album’s trajectory.
“El Poder” finds OPT continuing its traditional cumbia-centric path, while also delving into salsa, and psychedelic northwest-inspired sounds. “El Poder” is Orquestra Pacific Tropical at the height of their powers, satisfying the veteran listener as well as offering new sonic explorations and a wholy unique latin music experience.
