Vadim Baranov
Founder & Creative Director
Vadim Baranov began his creative journey in 2009 as a member of the "Koleso" Theater in Vitebsk, where he studied theatrical arts, body movement, and voice control.
During this time, he discovered his passion for African and Arabic drums, performing with like-minded musicians in street duets and trios.
In 2019, he founded what would later become BARABAND. The project started with a small group of just 7 enthusiasts. Within 1−2 years, new members eagerly joined the team. Today, BARABAND unites over 100 performers aged 8 to 60.
Vadim brings vast experience as a percussionist, artistic director, educator, and performer. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with diverse musical groups and artists across genres.
Since 2019, he has devoted most of his life to building and refining BARABAND — a collective that transforms rhythm into unforgettable spectacles.
