Paula Barouh was born and lived most part on her life in Concepción, a big city on the south of Chile, searching since then for different ways to express herself, specially through music.
She began to take singing lessons at 17, age in which formed her first band called "Icaros de Clep". In 1994 she arrived to United States as an exchange student, attending the senior year of "Chalmette High School" in the suburbs of New Orleans. Was on that city where she discovered the cadences of Jazz which lately became a trademark on her vocal style.
In 2002, Paula got for the first time the chance to know the world of community radio stations, creating the radio show "INFILTRADOS", dedicated exclusively to Chilean rock. Was this radio show what brought her to host a TV show called "CORTENTRAMITE", transmitted everyday live by ABT Television and whose thematic was the live performance of Chilean bands.
In addition to her hosting role, she performed as a singer doing an opening act in every show, playing with outstanding Chilean musicians from different bands.
In 2004 an 2005 she continues her vocal studies in Projazz Academy with the singing coach Ana Maria Meza, and participates as a backup singer in the album "Plan maestro" by an important Chilean ska band call Santo Barrio. In 2006 Paula has her first contact with electronic music, collaborating with vocal melodies for bands like Ud. No and more recently with Reflejo, performing live in different clubs in Santiago , and recording the song Espejo.
2007 was the year when her solo project breakthrough: her first single "Convulsion" hits Chilean radio stations, and the video of this song gets into the Latin MTV rotation. At the moment she’s now promoting her first EP, BAROUH, five tracks full of dark melodies, intense ballads and crazy Drum and bass and industrial beats. ::ABOUT CONVULSION:::
"Convulsion" is the name of BAROUH..s first single, produced by Jose Tomas Palma. It..s cadences refers to the industrial rock (Nine Inch Nails, Ministry) and to some recent bands like Prodigy or Marilyn Manson. The song mixes powerful riffs with electronic, aggressive and simultaneously dance-like sounds.
This track is build around hard bits and dark harmonies, which generates an atmosphere of tension and chaos where the "vocal convulsions" of
BAROUH are listened to. Peculiarly, this track is different from many of the guttural howls of the style: the artist whispers words and phrases in english throughout the song, with a convincing and seductive interpretation. The electronic beats, feeds the atmosphere of "no control" on one hand and of luxury by the other.
The combination of violent sounds with a sensual vocal style gives an original mood to the piece and is a good example of a singer whom does look for a new proposal in this music genre. Certainly the melodic line of "Convulsion" does not shows her vocal range, but it's eloquent about her skills as an interpreter and creator in search of different and provocative proposals. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Estrecha ha sido la vinculación entre Paula Barouh y el mundo de las comunicaciones y la música en Chile. Conductora de “Corte en Trámite”, impulsora de espacios radiales y creadora de NON, primer portal chileno dirigido al rock hecho por chicas, la artista chilena ha decidido que este es el momento para explotar su faceta musical.
Capitalizando la experiencia de colaborar con diversas bandas (Mal de Chagas, Santo Barrio), Paula ha determinado apostar por sus propias búsquedas y debutar como solista, desprendiéndose de su nombre de pila y usando su apellido como denominación artística: BAROUH, una palabra que proviene del hebreo “Baruj”, y que significa Bendito; interesante referencia considerando lo provocativa de su propuesta.
“Convulsion” es el nombre de su primer single, producido por Jose Tomas Palma (Hielo?). La base del tema refiere al rock industrial de fines de los noventa ( Nine Inch Nails, Ministry) y a algunas bandas recientes como Prodigy o Marilyn Manson. El tema mezcla la fuerza de las guitarras con sonidos digitales, agresivos y a la vez bailables. La canción está armada en torno a un ritmo duro y a armonías oscuras, todo lo cual genera un ambiente siniestro y tensión, donde se escuchan las “convulsiones” vocales de la artista.
Curiosamente, estas distan muchos de los alaridos guturales del estilo: la artista susurra palabras y frases en inglés a lo largo de la canción, con una interpretación convincente y seductora. La base junto a su voz, alimentan la atmósfera de descontrol, por un lado y de lujuria por el otro, de club industrial europeo y caminos en búsqueda del placer, todo junto.
La combinación de ritmos y sonidos violentos, con registros vocales sensuales, le da un carácter original a la pieza y es buena muestra de una cantante que no busca repetir, sino proponer. Ciertamente la melodía de “Convulsion” no da cuenta de su amplio registro vocal, pero si es elocuente en cuanto a sus dotes como intérprete y creadora en búsqueda de propuestas diferentes, provocadoras. Por, Cristóbal González, Comunicador Social, Vocalista Santo Barrio.

Hey there, Here's one from left field... Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat? A while back I came across some very disturbing information, which inspired me to make this video: Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4 Both artistic (ensure you've good enough sound to enjoy the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice. Though the source materials are somewhat aged, the fundamentals remain relevant today. I encourage all to visit the YouTube web page above to learn more (Show your support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly re-post and circulate as widely as possible. Help to raise awareness. Say have you checked out my web site (www.faberoptime.com) recently? Take care and keep in touch.

If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me.
