Barbi Recanati is one of the most influential figures in contemporary Argentine alternative rock and indie, standing out not only as a musician but also as a passionate activist and cultural promoter. Her journey began at the helm of Utopians, the garage rock band she led for more than a decade, performing on some of the region’s most important stages and even earning a Latin Grammy nomination. However, after the group disbanded in 2017, Barbi began a solo career that redefined her sound, moving away from raw punk to embrace a post-punk and new wave aesthetic filled with synthesizers, chorus-drenched guitars, and introspective melancholy.

Her solo debut, the acclaimed album Ubicación en tiempo real (2020), solidified her place in the independent scene and earned her a Gardel Award, along with another Latin Grammy nomination. This success was followed by El final de las cosas (2023), a work that deepens her nostalgic style and her ability to write direct lyrics about human relationships and the passage of time. Alongside her musical output, Recanati has transformed the Argentine industry through Goza Records, a label she founded together with Futurock radio to support women and gender-diverse artists. Additionally, her research work is reflected in the book and podcast Mostras del Rock, where she recovers. It highlights the history of women who were pioneers in the genre but were made invisible by the official narrative. Today, Barbi serves as a bridge between the legacy of classic rock and the new self-managed avant-garde. Don’t miss her first time in Dublin presenting her latest album, “único y nuestro.” The band will take over Curveball (upstairs the Button Factory). Support: TBA. Don't miss out!
