Imagine Kurt Weill chewing sausages with the Residents underneath the Williamsburg Bridge while watching a Russian wedding dance, and you have the something akin to Brooklyn’s one-of-a-kind post-cabaret, punk chamber ensemble, Barbez. Provoked by such musics as Slavic folksong, Argentine tango, post-war classical, and pre-MTV punk, Barbez wrings these disparate worlds into the band’s own unique soundscape.

hola.. fue una experiencia muy especial escuchar su música. se esparce por todo el cuerpo y lentamente parece que comienza a brotar por los poros... Me mostro cosas muy poéticas siempre con un tono de lamento muy particular, como el color violeta... Es muy bueno lo que hacen y muy profundo, gracias por compartirlo con todos nosotros ... saludos
