Carmela Barbé Signed By Ottersong Records and Releases EP To Remind You"

OtterSong Records is proud to announce a recording and distribution agreement with Carmela Barbé.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (PRWEB) April 14, 2005 -- Carmela Barbé is a singer-songwriter from Uruguay with a distinctive Americana flavor, with a style reminiscent of artists such as Nora Jones, Bonnie Raitt, and Joni Mitchell. Carmela brings her heartfelt music and lyrics to life in her upcoming EP "To Remind You".

"When I first heard Carmelas music, I was astonished at her ability to communicate through her music. Her songs and lyrics are so 'true to the heart.' And, she captures that down-home American feel so well," said John Luttrell, President and Founder of OtterSong Records. "We're so happy to be distributing her music here in the U.S."

Carmela is an accomplished singer-songwriter and composer. With over 50 songs in various genres, she has a marked preference towards the styles of country-pop and folk music. It's quite a curiosity that in a country such as Uruguay, South America she has felt the instinctive vocation to create melodies which are related to specific regions of the United States.

Her melancholic and heartfelt lyrics lie in the richness of her music and the colours of her voice. From a young age, this remarkable artist has received important acknowledgements in her country and has made artistic journeys in Sweden, Corcega and Rome.

She has written songs in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, but much of her music is in English.

This is her third release. The first two albums "Entre Nosotros" and "Siempre Serŕ" were both sold in Montevideo, Uruguay.

"I believe music cannot be detached from freedom and identity," says Carmela. "I listen to my inner self through my music, I grasp the essential meaning of things and I put it into my music and my lyrics. This is me, and it makes me happy."
