Barbie’s Cradle Returns With New Music and Reunion Concert

Barbie’s Cradle has released new music and scheduled a reunion concert after more than two decades, Rappler reported on June 27. The band consists of Barbie Almalbis on vocals, Kakoy Legaspi on guitars, Rommel dela Cruz on bass, and Wendell Garcia on drums. It released three albums in its initial run: Barbie’s Cradle in 1999, Music from the Buffet Table in 2000, and Playing in the Fields in 2003.

Rappler reporter Juno Reyes conducted the interview in which the members discussed the moments that led to their return, their evolution as artists over the past two decades, and the new releases that mark their official comeback. The band was among those that helped shape Filipino alternative rock in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
