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 to 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. Bryan and Emiliano created a fusion between organic instruments and electronic sounds. Globe-trotters, who’re true lovers of ethnic and lost cultures, are devoted to transmitting this legacy through electronic music.
Sparrow & Barbossa’s debuted in 2018 with their version of Mory Kante’s classic ‘Yeke’ released on Wired Records. The track became a #1 Afro House record. Sparrow & Barbossa’s debut album ‘Seven Seas’ was released in 2021, featuring collaborations with Mo’Horizon, Dele Sosimi, DJ Chus, and more. ‘Morena,’ also included in the Album, became an Ibiza Anthem thanks to the Keinemusik crew, Adam Port, and &Me.
In 2022 Bryan and Emilano started their own record label, Tortuga Tribes, giving a voice and a home to a whole community of artists and musicians from Latin America and democratising a genre they have decided to call “Caribbean House”. In 2023, they collaborated with German showstopper Rampa from Keinemusik to release “Champion” which hit # 1 on Beatport’s Afro House chart.
