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

Flanked by band members Jamie Searle, Joelle Barbé and Dan Carroll in RTRFM’s Studio A, Grace Barbé weaves through a live set that draws from the diverse cultural mélange 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.

Grace won the WAM Award for Best World Act every year over the period 2009-2013, while her song 'Fatige' took out the WAM Song of the Year (World Category) award in 2014.

Following the release of her debut album 'Kreol Daughter' (2009) and latest release 'Welele!' (2013), Grace has performed at major festivals in Mauritius, La Reunion and Seychelles, as well as Australian festivals WOMADelaide, Byron Bay Bluesfest and Woodford Folk Festival.
