Raphaela Angelitsa Barbas

Better known as

The Optimistic Orphan

I’m a jazz and blues singer whose been performing for a decade now.

I started off by having a playful argument with a man as to weather I knew a song or not and in the end he happened to be a well known jazz musician Hein van de Geyn and we performed for his private concerts from when I was age 10-14 and then moved to join my current performance space that is now a local restaurant with a Sunday jazz session that I started from 15-21.

Raphaela Angelitsa Barbas. 21 years old. 153 cm tall. Living in Scarborough / Cape Town, South Africa.

“So most of the songs are just made up on the spot except the ‘darling can’t you see’ one I wrote that one a while ago.”

„I’ve been given the opportunity to perform at two festivals in the Western Cape, one as a blues artist and the other to head a jam session. My set was 1:30 to sunrise.“

„I’ve also recently formed a relationship with a performance space in Kloof street in Cape Town, called selective live.“

„Other than that I’ve been hosting jam session performances at my house for 80 people at a time.“
