   About Barbez
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.

The Black Forest. The great experimental director John Jesurun made our first video for us. This is a song from the new album.
