Barbossa (UY)

Barbossa is a Uruguayan DJ and producer, born and raised in a region deeply influenced by Afro-descendant communities, where the essence of Candombe—one of the purest African tribal rhythms of the colonial era—shaped his life from a very early age. This cultural environment, rich in drums, tradition, and identity, formed the foundation of his musical roots and his instinctive understanding of rhythm and energy. After moving to Europe in 2004, Barbossa became fully immersed in Madrid's electronic music scene. He later spent more than 10 years as a percussionist and resident DJ in Ibiza, one of the world's most influential epicenters of electronic music, where he refined his style and connected with global audiences. Some time later, he co-founded Sparrow & Barbossa, a project that propelled him to the top of the international music industry. With this duo, he has performed on major stages around the world and collaborated with leading talents from the global electronic music scene. Barbossa represents Afro Latin house in its purest and most authentic form, fusing tribal percussion, ancestral rhythms, and cultural vibrations that celebrate the richness of Latin identity. His mission is clear: to bring this sound to as many people as possible, uplift their lives, and connect cultures through music.
