Norbe & Freddy (short for Norberto & Friederike Purtschert Barahona) are a couple of songwriters and recording artists. Together with their little son they are a small, happy, multicultural family, currently living in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada.
Born and raised in Ecuador (Norbe) and Germany (Freddy), Norbe taught himself to play the guitar and later on also the bass, Freddy studied classical piano. They both grew in their musical skills by serving in churches in Ecuador, Germany and Canada leading worship for several years now.
Their wish is to see people connect with and draw closer to God through the music. Writing their own songs started to take shape when they moved to Three Hills (AB, Canada) in 2019 to study the art of songwriting at Prairie College.
On May 5, 2021, their first album “Life in Prayer” was released. It is a collection of eleven songs written out of the everyday life, out of joy, desperation and struggles that led to songs of prayer. Their music features different types of vibes, from acoustic to strings and rap, partly with a South American and German touch.
