Alfonso Barbieri

Alfonso Barbieri is an Argentine musician, composer, and visual artist whose work crosses genres, disciplines, and formats with an unmistakable style. His career includes iconic projects such as Acorazado Potemkin, Fantasmagoria, and Los Cocineros, as well as a solid solo career where he unfolds a universe as poetic as it is absurd, in which pop, psychedelia, jazz, and Latin American songs coexist naturally. In each of his albums, Barbieri explores the limits of song as a narrative form, with lyrics filled with humor, melancholy, and a very personal magical realism.

Beyond his musical career, Barbieri is also a renowned visual and performing artist, and has collaborated in theater, film, and audiovisual projects. His multidisciplinary approach enriches his music with layers of theatricality, irony, and an aesthetic sense that transcends sound.If God cloned bread(2024), for example, he composes, arranges and conducts a choral work, with nods to free jazz, experimental pop and popular music, accompanied by a diverse cast of guest instrumentalists and singers.

Alfonso Barbieri is an unclassifiable figure in contemporary Argentine music. His work escapes trends and is constructed from total freedom, with a keen eye for the everyday and a sensitivity that combines tenderness, intelligence, and delirium. Whether through song or visual installation, his art invites us to look at the world from a different perspective: one that is stranger, more human, and, ultimately, freer.
