    The name Raúl Barboza evokes the land where Argentina meets Brazil and Paraguay, where the population is greatly tinted with red with the vast number of Indian tribes.

  
    There is not simply one nation, but many and many populations or rather repopulations. If music is a gift, it is found in Raúl Barboza’s fingers when he plays the accordion. His music contains the generosity of the earth and calls for attention. The sensuality of his music comes from the spiritual materialism of Amerindian cultures. His melodies speak directly from the earth. His music represents of the most magnificent links between the New World and the Old.


Everything appears in a new light when you spend time with Raúl Barboza. The way in which he perceives people, trees or animals alters the manner in which we see them. He highlights the beauty of countryside and makes people seem more tangible. Raúl Barboza’s music underlines the secret exuberance of the banal. “Raúl is in touch with everyday life” commented Patrick Tandin, who has been behind Raúl Barboza’s concerts and records since the latter chose to reside in France. “For Raúl, art must be integrated in daily living and should not be regarded as exceptional.” He treats his work as a musician simply and attentively but as if his music was commonplace. However, it is this attitude which renders his work exceptional. “Raúl is like a musical painter, continued Patrick Tandin, with abstract moments and concrete moments: slightly impressionist scenery which musically relates the heart of the Guarani people... The extraordinary thing is by using a language like chamamé which is known by few, Raúl manages to tell tales which touch the heart of everyone on this planet.

Raul permanently has a guitar in his head”: the memory the guitar of his father, Adolfo and also that which his companion, Olga, plays, “and he believes that a human being is like a guitar - he or she must be tuned every day, because things change every day. Raúl always tries to be in harmony with his surroundings and friendly with the people with him.” Whatever may be your walk of life, everything seems more true when Raúl is around. All those who have had the pleasure of meeting him can confirm this. “When he enters the world of other musicians, he gives himself entirely to those with whom he collaborates, and this results in a musical feast.”

Nietzsche believed that “Without music, life would be an error,” when you listen to Raúl Barboza, you realise that he was right.

...Each time notes come out of my accordion, it is not only a melody, but it is like the beginning of a tale, a moment of silence is like taking a breath of air. From my ancestors I learnt how to make the accordion an extension of my spirit, which does not need words to express itself. I also learnt from my ancestors how to listen to the voices of nature - the singing of birds, the galloping of animals, the whispering wind. All that is ‘Life’ which appears before us with its joy and sadness, hunger and injustice, luxury and poverty. Each time I play a tune on my accordion, I want to tell a true story.
