Natalia Barbu (born August 22, 1979, in Bălţi, Republic of Moldova, then part of the USSR) is a Moldovan singer.
Throughout her career, Natalia has worked with a group of musicians from Trigon on a different, new jazz-folk experiment. She writes her own lyrics, composes the music for most of her songs, and collaborates on the arrangements with her crew.
Natalia signed a three year contract with Cat Music Records (Sony Music) from Bucharest in 2006.
Her main success has been the release of her single "Îngerul meu" (My Angel) in Romania. The song remained in the Romanian Top 100 for 11 weeks at #1 and was much featured on MTV Romania.
More recently, she was selected to represent Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song Fight. She beat out Moldova's 2005 contestant Zdob Si Zdub. She advanced from the semi-finals and performed in 24th (final) position in the contest finals. Her song was voted 10th overall.
