Barbuda is a fierce young septet that fuses uncut Funk with new-school Soul music in an explosive live show.

Formed in the first moments of the new millenium, Barbuda has made the astonishing journey from being a college bar-band to a mature club-packing bootie-shaking musical bohemoth.

Barbuda is: Nick 'The Stick' Afflitto on Trumpet, Ranjit Arapurakal on Keys and Vocals, Michael Fein on Saxophones and Flute, J. Carlos Izaguirre on Percussion, Mark Lacis on Drums, Peter Lacis on Guitars, and Dr. Peters on Bass.

With the January 2002 release of their debut studio album, The Highest Fi, Barbuda hopes to broaden their fanbase throughout the US and the World, through intense touring, strategic radio-airplay, and good word of mouth.
