Barí is the perfect introduction to the musical magic of Ojos de Brujo. The album takes its name from a word in Caló - the Gypsy (Roma) dialect of Spain - that means, roughly, ‘finding the groove in life’ - the same way you do in music. Xavi Turull, the group’s premier percussionist, explains: "Barí is a word that Ramon, who’s Gypsy, picked up from his grandmother. It’s kind of like the feeling that everything in life is working right. That everything feels good."

"From the moment it starts, there's no doubt that this is an album of now. Energetic, assertive and joyful, it does what you want a record to do: it changes the mood and makes life seem full of possibilities."
- Charlie Gillett, BBC Radio 3
"In the brief time that the Ojos de Brujo album Bari has been in my possession, it has screamed its way past hundreds of other albums to the head of the race for my attention and utmost adoration. It’s the kind of album that sounds great on the first listen, even better on subsequent listens, and maintains a freshness and timeless virtuosity that stands the test of time."
