Giuseppe “Peppe” Barra (born 24 July 1944) is an Italian folk singer, actor, playwright and composer.
Born in Rome into a family of Procidan actors, when he was only 6 Barra enrolled in an acting school for children, Teatrino di Zietta Liù. In the early 1970s, he befriended Roberto De Simone and entered the Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare ensemble, with whom he stayed until 1978.
In 1982, Maurizio Scaparro as artistic director of the Carnival of Venice asked Barra to make a performance, and on this occasion Barra launched “Peppe e Barra”, a musical that marked the beginning of the stage company “Peppe e Concetta Barra” with his mother Concetta, and that got a large success, being staged in Italy for several seasons and also performed in New York, Paris, Barcelona, Bonbay and Geneva, among other places. In 1992, he made his solo discographic debut with Mo vene, for which he won the Targa Tenco for Best Performer. His variegated career also include films and television.
