UCR #010 by Barda

“Q: What inspired this podcast? A: It was created in the days when spring begins, and then the spring never came.” Barda’s galactic Urban Cosmonaut Radio podcast #10 was born in longing for blooming flowers and sunny days in Buenos Aires...and yet it’s a colourful hybrid of melancholy, warmth and cumbia rhythms, taking us on a ride through the Patagonian steppe ­ where we dance to sayas and cumbias, traces of dub and minimal, sounds of guitars and synths, and memories of Peruvian chicha. The next set in this series is an eclectic blend of Cecilia Gebhard ­ aka Barda’s ­ own productions, remixes and mashups. Her musical roots are influenced by the textures of trip hop, electronic downtempo and her very first musical memory of The Beatles performing “Let It Be” on TV as a young child. After. singing and playing drums and guitar in rock bands as a teenager, she started producing music in 2013. Spring may never have come to Buenos Aires, but something beautiful blossomed here in the Urban Cosmic Universe. Let’s see where it takes us.
