Banda artist Mariano Barba began making serious waves in the Regional Mexican Music world in early 2006 with the release of his hit single, "Aliado del tiempo," which brought Barba up from being one of the genre's many up and coming talents to it's most notable new voice. His first release, Me gusta la Banda did poorly, but served as a primer for subsequent releases and secured him a contract with Three Sounds Records. His sophomore release, De parranda con Mariano which Barba produced, sold quite well, and exceeded all label projections and or market expectations. Mariano's third release, Una noche mas contigo broke his own sales records and achieved Gold Record status thanks to the incredibly high volume sales. Barba is know to record a mixture of his own material, including hits like "Cosas del Amor" and "El mono de Alambre" alongside well known selections such as "La Parranda" or "El Cafetel," as is often the case for Regional Mexican artists. Having sold over 50,000 records in Mexico has won Barba respect and a number of awards, including Song of the Year from Artista Revelacion 2005, for "Una Noche Mas Contigo." Mariano Barba is currently the most programmed New Artist in Hispanic Radio all over the U.S. and Mexico. His most recent collection, Aliado del Tiempo charted on several of Billboard's Latin Music categories. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide
