Singer Barba basks in the Billboard spotlight

“When he was 14 and singing for change on public buses in his hometown near Guadelajara, Mexico, Mariano Barbas biggest ambition was to sing someplace that didnt move, for people who actually wanted to listen.

He got what he describes as his first big break at 17, when he filled in for a sick musician at a local restaurant.

Certainly he had dreams, but he never imagined hed get to where he is now — one of the top new artists in regional Mexican music, with five nominations for the Billboard Latin Music Awards, one of Latin musics biggest awards.”
