Barilari is a project band from Argentina fronted by the Rata Blanca vocalist Adrian Barilari. The band formed in 2001 due to Adrian's wishes to form a solo project away from the demands of his other bands. In 2003 he invited his friends from Nightwish and Jens Johansson from Stratovarius to become the makeup of this dream. Barilari has been compared to such bands as Tobias Sammet's Avantasia and Ayreon.

2001- 2002 In the Beginning/ Demo

A demo was released in 2001.

2003-2004 Barilari

The band's first album; which was self-titled, was released during the latter part of 2003. The lineup of the band at this time was only for recording purposes and therefore sessional members were used for live concerts. Both English and Spanish versions of the album were produced and sold commercially.

2004-2008 Canciones Doradas

The second album, Canciones Doradas was released in September 2007. It is a covers album featuring songs originally released by Robbie Williams, Aerosmith, Sting and Bon Jovi.

Adrian features on the compilation album Women for Life- Live which was released in Argentina in 2007. All proceeds from the album will go towards financing charities which help women in Latin America who are affected by HIV and AIDS.
