Hailing from Margarita Island in the Venezuelan state of Nueva Esparta,  
Bárb's passion for abstract imagery, shape-shifting its way around sparse chord-structured sound design, led her into the enticing world of writing     and performing songs in both English & Spanish, whilst absorbing the sounds  of PJ Harvey, Patrick Wolf, Agnes Obel, Laura Marling, Bat For Lashes and Juana Molina.

Having forged a dynamic alliance with composer/arranger Nico Claverie, Bárb's forthcoming debut single, Burning Desire, encapsulates the dark, alluring melancholia found lurking within the viscera of a Guillermo del Toro soundtrack.

Burning Desire

Hailing from Margarita Island in the Venezuelan state of Nueva Esparta, Bárb's interest in music and the arts rapidly evolved during her formative years. However, it wasn't until after her arrival in the UK that Bárb felt the need to embrace the intoxicating blend of Latin American & Caribbean rhythms and melodies reflecting her cultural origins.


"When I arrived in the UK, I had the idea of getting into the local folk scene, but then realised I didn't want to do the same thing that everyone else in the scene was doing at that time. I began to miss my homeland and truly acknowledge the richness of my culture and language."


Barb’s intuitive response to these influences gradually led her into the enticing world of writing and performing songs in both English & Spanish, whilst absorbing the sounds of PJ Harvey, Patrick Wolf, Agnes Obel, Laura Marling, Juana Molina and Bat For Lashes.


Following in the footsteps of such engaging storytellers heightened Bárb's passion for abstract imagery, shape-shifting its way around sparse chord-structured sound design, tinged with shards of dissonance. Her vocals weaving from sensually intoxicating, to hauntingly primeval. 


"I've always considered myself primarily as an intuitive songwriter working with music at the same time. So it is much more about the rhythm or the accumulation of musical ideas emerging from improvisation." 


Having forged a dynamic alliance with composer/arranger Nico Claverie, Bárb's forthcoming debut single, Burning Desire, encapsulates the dark, alluring melancholia found lurking within the viscera of a Guillermo del Toro soundtrack.
