About

Orquestra Pacifico Tropical is a large-format cumbia orchestra based in Portland, Oregon. The ensemble is known for blending traditional Latin rhythms with the psychedelic sounds of the Pacific Northwest, creating a unique fusion often described as psychedelic cumbia.
Their discography includes the 2018 album El Tren and the 2026 release El Poder, the latter of which was recorded in a cabin to capture a specific natural ambiance.
