Barry B. will perform for the first time in Galicia in April – Thursday 24 in A Coruña (Pantsán Hall) and Friday 25 in Vigo (Supersonic Hall), with his presentation tour The first album, «Chato» which the artist describes in an interview with Europe Press as «an ode to love and nostalgia» and visually represents the figure «Hooligan», with which he drives to the limit of this «passion.»
These two dates in the community, added to two festivals, Portamérica and Osa Do-O among the more than 30 that, for now, are included in this «tour.» There are shared concerts with Galician Filloas, scheduled in the «Direct Vibra Mahou» series.
Until the beginning of 2025, the artist originally from Aranda del Duero (Burgos) combined his artistic plan with his work as an automation technician, which he has now left to dedicate himself to music. He had never faced a tour with so many dates before: «I quit my job, so we had to work differently, that’s for sure. I couldn’t stop.»
The name Gabriel Barriuso from the artist’s drum set attracts «Chatto» in his house, although this word did not become the album’s name «until the last week.» «Since it’s a super personal album that covers my feelings and ideas, what better way to name it than how my family has called me all my life, especially my father,» he says.
These feelings are mainly «nostalgia or love to the maximum.» This love is manifested in various ways in the lyrics of «Chatto»: from «maximum pain or happiness» to seeing «from the epic or heroic.»
This «love» also takes on a different sound depending on the song, as the work travels through pop-rock, trap, «drums and bass» or even «country» genres, with a strong presence of the guitar throughout the album, to which some of the songs attend.
The references are as varied: in the more «popular» cuts, Johnny Cash was the basic inspiration; From his producers, U, Drummie, or Sam Gold, he has taken «bolder moves, even urban guitars,» where he cites Jim Dawson, and has been influenced by the «image» of British pop-rock groups that he has always listened to, such as Pulp, Primal Scream or Arctic Monkeys.
«I will update this and mix it with what I like to go now and, in the end, because we vomit it,» he explains.
This creative flow also finds it every day. Currently, he lives with his artist, Durán station; And previously shared an apartment with Ralphie Choo and Russowsky, new talents already established in his scene. This is reflected in his process: «Finally, you are surrounded by people with whom you analyze music and what comes out and share conversations about music itself.»
«I have no basis for musical theory or anything else,» he explains. His school was the rock group he trained with in his hometown, «as did many people.» This criteria is what trained him: «As a result of understanding a little what he wants to understand and then where he wants to go, he can gain knowledge and curiosity to take risks.»
With a job with a basic salary, he was able to take an additional risk with his compositions: «I could do what I wanted and make 5,000 songs a day, that if out of the 5,000 songs one didn’t come out, it wouldn’t matter. I didn’t have the pressure to make time more efficient.»
Now he meditates more «if a song can be stripped down,» although he admits that he has always thought about it. He also believes that this time he «offered him the virtue of knowing what is beautiful and what is not beautiful»: «I play with this advantage.»
Through the figure «Hooligan,» which appears on the cover and other visual materials – He mixes the ideas already reflected in the songs on the aesthetic level. For him, this particular «fanatic» represents «love and passion for something and fighting until you are put in prison.» «I have always liked the Irish movement,» Hooligan, «giving everything for everything, even if it’s stupid. Not Galician enough, right?»
This imagery is complemented by police raids (in the «heart of the cowboy»), battles and faces (in «Thought God had caught up with me»), phone conversations in a prison (in «The lake of my pain») and moonlighters (in «Joga Bonito»).
«I went through these stages of crime, drugs, to live life to the limit… it was very present throughout my life,» he explains about this imagery, influenced by films like «Snatch,» by Guy Ritchie.
These images are also designed in the same compositions, where he shows «elegant ostentation,» as they qualify. «I won’t learn the buckle even if it’s Dior,» he sings in «Joga Bonito,» for example. «Despite the fact that I could afford to buy a Dior belt, I won’t wear it to be cool. I’ll take it if it’s comfortable,» he says.
«The fact that reflects such a characteristic element, like a pipe or a sniper, I think it reflects quite well as a synonym for what can be done in this case for love and describe something hyperbolically.»
On the other hand, he was also fueled by paramilitary aesthetics, which, although he clarifies that he does not agree with its implications, has always perceived it as «beautiful.» 
Barry B. Actuará por primera vez en Galicia en abril-Jueves 24 en un Coruña (Pantsán Hall) y el viernes 25 en Vigo (Supersonic Hall), con su gira de presentación El primer álbum, «Chato»que el artista describe en una entrevista con Europe Press como «una oda al amor y la nostalgia» y que representa visualmente la figura «Hooligan», con la que conduce al límite de esta «pasión».
Estos dos datos de la comunidad, que se agregan dos a festivales, Portamérica y Osa Do-O de los más de 30 que, por ahora, incluyen esta «gira». Hay conciertos compartidos con Galician Filloas, programados en el ciclo «Direct Vibra Mahou».
Hasta el comienzo de 2025, el artista natural de Aranda del Duero (Burgos) combinó el plan artístico con su trabajo como técnico de automatización, que ahora se ha ido para dedicarse a la música. Todavía no había enfrentado una gira con tantos datos: «Dejó el trabajo, por lo que tuvimos que trabajar de manera diferente, eso está claro. No podía detenerse».
El nombre de Gabriel Barriuso de la batería del artista atrae a «Chatto» en su casa, aunque esta palabra no se ha convertido en el nombre del álbum «hasta la última semana». «Como es un álbum súper personal y eso cubre mis sentimientos e ideas, qué mejor manera de llamarlo como mi familia me ha llamado toda mi vida, especialmente mi padre», dice.
Estos sentimientos son principalmente «nostalgia o amor al máximo». Este amor se manifiesta de varias maneras en las letras de «chat»: del «dolor o felicidad máximo» a ver «de la epicia o heroica».
Este «amor» también adopta un sonido diferente dependiendo del tema, porque el trabajo viaja en lugares pop-rock, trampa, «batería y bajo» o incluso «country», con una gran presencia de la guitarra en todo el álbum, a la que asisten algunas de las canciones.
Las referencias son tan variadas: en los descuentos más «populares», Jonny Cash fue la inspiración básica; De sus fabricantes, usted, Drummie o Sam Gold, ha tomado «movimientos más audaces, incluso guitarras urbanas», donde cita a Jim Dawson, e influyó en la «imagen» de los grupos pop-rock británicos que siempre ha escuchado, como pulpa, grito primario o monos artísticos.
«Actualizaré esto y lo mezclaré con lo que me guste ir ahora y, al final, porque lo vomitamos», explica.
Este flujo creativo también lo encuentra todos los días. Actualmente, vive tanto con su artista, la estación de Durán; Y anteriormente compartió un apartamento con Ralphie Choo y Russowsky, nuevos talentos ya consolidados en su escenario. Esto se refleja en su proceso: «Finalmente, estás rodeado de Peña con la que analiza la música y lo que sales y comparte conversaciones sobre la música en sí».
«No tengo base para la teoría musical o algo más», explica. Su escuela fue el grupo de rock que entrenó en la ciudad natal, «como lo hizo mucha gente». Este criterio es el que entrenó: «Como resultado de la comprensión un poco lo que quiere entender y luego a dónde quiere ir, puede obtener conocimiento y curiosidad para el riesgo».
Con un trabajo con un salario básico, le permitió correr un riesgo adicional de sus composiciones: «Podría hacer lo que quería y hacer 5,000 canciones al día, que si de las 5,000 canciones no saldrían, no daría lo mismo. No tenía la presión» Haremos el tiempo más eficiente «.
Ahora meditas más «si una canción puede ser pelada», aunque admite que siempre lo ha pensado. Barry B. se embarcará en su primera actuación en Galicia en abril, con conciertos programados en A Coruña y Vigo como parte de su gira de presentación de su álbum debut, «Chato». Este álbum, descrito por el artista como «una oda al amor y la nostalgia», visualmente representa la figura del «Hooligan», llevando al espectador al límite de esta intensa pasión.
Estas fechas en la comunidad gallega se suman a su participación en festivales como PortAmérica y Osa Do-O, entre otros más de 30 conciertos programados en esta extensa gira. También compartirá escenario con Galician Filloas en el ciclo «Direct Vibra Mahou».
Hasta principios de 2025, Barry B., natural de Aranda del Duero (Burgos), compaginaba su carrera artística con su trabajo como técnico de automatización, el cual ha dejado atrás para centrarse por completo en la música. Esta gira representa un nuevo desafío para él, enfrentándose a una agenda tan intensa como nunca antes había experimentado.
El nombre del álbum, «Chato», proviene de un apodo familiar con el que Gabriel Barriuso, el verdadero nombre del artista, fue conocido en su hogar. Este título se decidió solo una semana antes del lanzamiento del álbum, ya que refleja la naturaleza personal y emotiva de la música contenida en él.
Los temas principales que aborda Barry B. en «Chato» son la nostalgia y el amor en su máxima expresión. También explora la estética del «Hooligan» como una representación visual de esta pasión intensa y desbordante. A través de sus letras y composiciones, Barry B. busca transmitir la belleza de lo que es auténtico y verdadero, desafiando los límites convencionales de la música urbana.
La gira de Barry B. por Galicia promete ser un evento emocionante y enérgico, donde el artista compartirá su música con el público gallego por primera vez. Con conciertos programados en A Coruña y Vigo, Barry B. espera conectar con sus seguidores y transmitir la emoción y la pasión que inspiran sus canciones. This love is manifested in various ways in the lyrics of «chat»: from «maximum pain or happiness» to seeing «epic or heroic».
This «love» also takes on a different sound depending on the theme, as the work travels through pop-rock, trap, «drums and bass» or even «country», with a strong presence of the guitar throughout the album, with some songs attending.
The references are so varied: in the more «popular» cuts, Jonny Cash was the basic inspiration; From their manufacturers, you, Drummie or Sam Gold, have taken «bolder moves, even urban guitars», citing Jim Dawson, and influenced the «image» of British pop-rock groups that he has always listened to, like Pulp, primal scream or artistic monkeys.
«I will update this and mix it with what I like to go now and, in the end, because we vomit it,» he explains.
This creative flow also finds it every day. Currently, he lives both with his artist, Duran station; And he previously shared an apartment with Ralphie Choo and Russowsky, new talents already established in his scene. This is reflected in his process: «Finally, you are surrounded by Peña with whom you analyze music and what you come out and share conversations about music itself.»
«I don’t have a basis for music theory or anything else,» he explains. His school was the rock group he trained in his hometown, «like many people did.» This criterion is what he trained: «As a result of understanding a little what he wants to understand and then where he wants to go, he can gain knowledge and curiosity for risk.»
With a job with a basic salary, he was able to take an additional risk with his compositions: «I could do what I wanted and make 5,000 songs a day, that if out of the 5,000 songs they wouldn’t come out, it wouldn’t be the same. I didn’t have the pressure to make the time more efficient.»
Now he meditates more «if a song can be peeled», although he admits that he has always thought about it. He also believes that this time he «offered him the virtue of knowing what is beautiful and what is not beautiful»: «I play with this advantage.»
Through the figure «Hooligan», which appears on the cover and other visual materials, he mixes the ideas that are already reflected in the songs on the aesthetic level. For him, this particular «fanatic» represents «love and passion for something and fight until you get imprisoned.» «I always liked the Irish movement,» Hooligan «, doing everything for everything, even if it’s stupid. It’s not enough Galician, right?»
That imagery is complemented by police arrests (in the «heart of the cowboy»), battles and faces (in «I thought God had reached me»), phone conversations in a prison (in the «lake of my pain») and moonlighters (in «Joga Bonito»).
«I went through these stages of crime, drugs, living life to the limit … it was very present throughout my life,» he explains about this imagery, influenced by movies like «Pigs and Diamonds», by Guy Ritchie.
These images are also designed in the same compositions, where he shows «elegant ostentation,» as they qualify. «I don’t learn the buckle even if it’s Dior,» he sings in «Joga Bonito,» for example. «Despite the fact that I may have resources to catch a Dior belt, I won’t wear it to cool off. I’ll take it if it’s comfortable,» he says.
«The fact of reflecting such a characteristic element, such as a pipe or a sniper, I think is quite well reflected as a synonym for what can be done in this case for love and describe something in a hyperbolic way.»
On the other hand, he was also fed by paramilitary aesthetics, which, although he clarifies that he does not agree with its implications, has always perceived it as «beautiful.» «These monstrous comparisons seem to me that they can penetrate much more,» he believes in elements like high boots.
Now that he is on a full tour, for Barry B the Live «is the best thing that music has»: «That people know your songs and everyone is there as in the same song, vibrating with you.» «It is one of the most beautiful things that my life has offered and, in fact, that a movement is formed while a mega» hooligan «has recently been formed, worth redundancy, because everyone is there and the movement is visible,» he appreciates.
There are songs that resonate in particular, such as «I thought God had reached me,» his collaboration with Carolina during. «When I was making the song, I knew what would happen live because it was something I felt,» he confesses and says that it happened «it happened.» –
However, he was «impressed» by the public reaction to «all that pain,» another of the songs «Chato,» which, unlike the previous one, was not released as a single. «Without being» alone «, without having a video, without having anything, he came back and live is crazy.»
Those from A Coruña and Vigo, whose records can be purchased at wegow.com, will be his first bowling alley in Galicia. «I have a bridge because always in college and in any field of my life I had a lot of affinity with Peña del Norte,» he says, while emphasizing that his sound technician and his «road manager» are actually Galician. «You have to have a Galician on your team. It’s like» leprosy «,» he jokes.
«I consider them [the Galicians] Like the Irish rock, like that Celtic movement, uncultivated, head, but that gives you everything. I have always had this admiration for Peña del Norte,» he anticipates his visit, which will be in less than two weeks.
