BARCADA (pronounced BAR-KA-DA) is a London based band with 4 core members and featured guest artist Dee Chanelle.
Having evolved over the years since the project's inception, the band has found its RETRO-POP feel of Funk and Rock vibes along with catchy melodies and lyrics that take you back in time. Thanks to the collective eclectic musical influences, the group creates a unique and magical sound.
Chanelle assembled the group alongside Keyboardist and producer Marshall. Together they have written the majority of the debut album although other members Bill (Guitar), Luke (Bass) and Doug (Drums) have equally collaborated on other tracks for future release.
The band name "BARCADA" derives from the Filipino word "Barkada" which translates to "a group of friends" aptly describing the nature of the band's camaraderie.
They are currently completing their debut studio album entitled "SWIPE!" which is expected for release in late 2022.
