Sparrow & Barbossa | Afro House | World - The Sound Gallery Mix 2024

Sparrow & Barbossa is a Madrid-based DJ and producer duo formed by the Swiss Bryan Coletta and the Uruguayan Emiliano Haberli. 🎵🌍 Bryan is a pianist born into a musician's family; his father is the legendary guitarist Francis Coletta, who worked with artists like Whitney Houston, Quincy Jones, and Frank Sinatra. 🎸✨ Emiliano was born and raised in Uruguay, a region dominated by African colonials, and was widely influenced by 'The Culture Of Candombe,' a pure African tribal rhythm from colonialism. 🥁🌿

From a very young age, Bryan has been inspired by Soul, Jazz, and Funk, which he incorporates into his creations with remarkable improvisation and versatility. Emiliano embarked on his music career when he moved to Europe in 2004, where he connected with the electronic music scene of Madrid. Bryan and Emiliano created a fusion between organic instruments and electronic sounds, becoming globe-trotters who transmit their love for ethnic and lost cultures through electronic music. 🌐🎶

Sparrow & Barbossa's production debut came in 2018 with their version of Mory Kante's classic 'Yeke' released on Wired Records. The track became a #1 Afro House record. In 2020, they released 'Nterini,' a remix for Fatoumata Diawara on MoBlack Records, which became a #2 Afro House Record with around 2 million plays on Spotify. 🔥📈

Their debut album 'Seven Seas' was released in 2021, featuring collaborations with Mo’Horizon, Dele Sosimi, Floyd Lavine, Josh Milan, Francis Coletta, Idd Aziz, and DJ Chus. The album became the #1 Afro House album on Traxsource cross-genre and reached over 11 million streams on Spotify. 'Morena,' also included in the album, became an Ibiza anthem thanks to support from the Keinemusik crew, Adam Port, &Me, and Rampa. 🌊🎤

In 2022, Bryan and Emiliano started their own record label, Tortuga Tribes, giving a voice to artists from all over Latin America and democratizing a genre they call “Caribbean House.” The label has released notable tracks such as “Finesse” (Anis Hachemi x Emir), “Grown & Sexy” (Sparrow & Barbossa), and “Love” (Band&dos). 🎧🏝️

Sparrow & Barbossa's sophomore album 'Réciprocité' was released in June 2023. The album features performers such as Starving Yet Full (Hungry For The Power), Maria De Moraes (Vinicius de Moraes' Daughter), and Phindile Ndlovu (Lion King), with remixes by Monkey Safari, Boddhi Satva, Manoo, Amine K, Kintar, and Michel Cleis. 🌟🎹

Shortly thereafter, Bryan and Emiliano linked up with German showstopper Rampa from Keinemusik to release their summer anthem “Champion,” which hit #1 on Beatport’s Afro House chart within the first 24 hours of release. 🥇🔥
