Pascal Ottawa, aka Pako, is a singer-songwriter from the Atikamekw community of Manawan.

With a solid, masterful folk-rock sound, Pako deals with powerful subjects such as the importance of language, the values and history of his community, identity, the environment, human relationships and the hope of a better life. Pako has the raspy, deep voice of a bluesman who has traveled far and wide, but always returns to draw his folk inspiration from the Atikamekw roots of his forest home in Manawan, Quebec.
