The View From Here #10: Grace Barbe

RTRFM’s online short film series The View From Here returns, with the island rhythms of Grace Barbe at the centre of episode ten.

Flanked by band members Jamie Searle, Joelle Barbe and Dan Carroll, Grace Barbe weaves through a live set of five songs in RTRFM’s Studio A.

Drawing from the diverse cultural melange of her native Seychelles, Grace’s signature ‘Afro-Kreol’ style fuses tropical island rhythms with Afrobeat, Latin, rock, reggae, jazz and pop influences.

An accomplished and celebrated singer/songwriter, Grace is at home on both guitar and bass, and impressively switches between singing in English, Kreol and French.
