Welcome to Grace Barbe and her band
About us
With roots in the tiny Indian Ocean nation of Seychelles, home to a unique culture that fuses Africa, Europe and Asia, Grace Barbe (pronounced Bar-bay) is a singer, songwriter and musician whose music, like her mixed heritage, reflects and celebrates the diverse influences of her Creole culture. The combination of afro-Creole, island roots and reggae, sung in Creole, English and French, laced with a modern pop sensibility have created a fresh sound in world music fusion.
An experienced performer with a strong stage presence and a gift for songwriting, Grace and collaborator James Searle won the 2006 WAMI ‘Song of the Year’ award in the world and folk category for their song “Mon Ankor Anmoure”.
Grace released her debut album "Kreol Daughter" in December 2008. The cd was recorded with UK mixer/producer, Jeremy Allom, best known for mixing Massive Attack‘s first famous album, ‘Blue Lines‘ and working with artists such as Freddy McGregor, Sly & Robbie and Maxie Priest.
