Buika
Originated from Guinea though born in Mallorca (Spain), Concha Buika started singing in local clubs and casinos then moved to Madrid. Soul, flamenco, hip hop, jazz, copla, Buika can sing any rhythm. Music has come naturally to her mixing her African roots with the sounds that surrounded her growing up in a Gipsy borough in Spain. For her second album “Mi Niña Lola” she tackles a daring repertory in which she performs such well-known copla classics as "Mi niña Lola ", " Ojos Verdes " Mi Carmen" with a bold twist. Buika’s album is a very personal one. Its brilliant sound along with an exquisite production bring as a result 11 themes in which the delicate lyrics and the voluptuous voice prove to be irresistible to anyone. The album has recently been recognized with a Spanish Music Award to Best Album 2007.
