Sparrow & Barbossa’s production debut came in 2018 with their version of Mory Kante’s classic ‘Yeke’ released on Wired Records. The track became a #1 Afro House record. In 2020, they released ‘Nterini,’ a remix for Fatoumata Diawara’s on MoBlack Records that became a #2 Afro House Record with around 2 million plays on Spotify.
Sparrow & Barbossa’s debut album ‘Seven Seas’ was released in 2021, featuring starring collaborations with Mo’Horizon, Dele Sosimi, Floyd Lavine, Josh Milan, Francis Coletta, Idd Aziz, and DJ Chus.
In 2022 Bryan and Emilano started their own record label, Tortuga Tribes, giving a voice and a home to a whole community of artists and musicians from all Latin America and democratising a genre they have decided to call “Caribbean House”. The label has been home for notable releases already such as “Finesse” (Anis Hachemi x Emir), “Grown & Sexy” (Sparrow & Barbossa) or “Love” (Band&dos) amongst others.
Sparrow & Barbossa’s sophomore album Réciprocité was release in June of 2023. The album features performers such as Starving Yet Full (Hungry For The Power), Maria De Moraes (Vinicius de Moraes’ Daughter), Phindile Ndlovu (Lion King) and remixers such as Monkey Safari, Boddhi Satva, Manoo, Amine K, Kintar and Michel Cleis amongst others.
Shortly thereafter, Bryan and Emiliano linked up with German showstopper Rampa from Keinemusik to release their summer anthem “Champion” which hit # 1 on Beatport’s Afro House chart within the first 24hrs of release.
