The powerful brass sounds born in the 70’s and 80’s live today in the music of Barela. When brothers Tony and Richard Barela first formed their group in 1990, they knew they would need to incorporate a powerful brass section to create their own style of soul with their roots firmly in ‘70’s funk and soul.

The five piece horn section is a rarity in most bands today, but it is a vital part of Barela’s tight interplay and solid groove. There is no substitute for the sound. Barela treats you to many songs rarely covered due to the difficult task of mastering such challenging material both instrumentally and vocally.

The overall product of this sensational group is the inspired, tight, unique and driving soul of Barela. The group intends to continue to perfect this powerful sound by adding original material to the covers that exemplify the many influences of the band.
