MUSIC : BUIKA
Flamenco’s newest twist
Her album titled, Mi Niña Lola (2006) is one of my all-time favorites. Concha Buika has a smoky, passionate voice perfect for singing new renditions of flamenco and tango. She offers an innovative twist to these classic sounds, and the result of her unique interpretations has been fame. Originally from Palma de Mallorca (one of the Balearic Islands, Spain), Buika has been touring internationally after the success of Mi Niña Lola but returns to Spain this summer to participate in Barcelona’s Grec Festival. This is not a concert to miss, as Buika is surely one of the freshest voices is Spanish music today.
