Nina de Fuego

Ever since I read a synopsis of her life and music career in the newspaper a year ago, I was intrigued. I went to see her in a small local theater, and since then I was hooked. She mixes African and Spanish rythms with jazz and Latin beats to create an amazing sound. Her voice is captivating and penetrating. She portrays herself through her music.

The free-spirited Mallorcan diva Buika represents a new flamenco phenomenon.
Buika grew up among gitanos in Majorca and it shows, although she delivers her vocals with the nonchalant ease of a jazz singer.
Her latest album is "Nina De Fuego". Concha Buika's singing is soulful and untamed.
Her husky voice and songs are striking.
On this disc she works with Javier Limón on guitar and Iván González Lewis on piano.
There are also atmospheric trumpet solos in this set of predominantly introspective songs. Without ever raising her voice, Buika is a sensual singer reinvigorating Spain's dynamic nu-flamenco scene.
She has taken an age-old tradition and applied her own style influenced by her African roots.
Buika mixes flamenco with a more informal vocal style that draws on jazz and soul.
The simmering passion, when it explodes, is overwhelming. She sings about love with feelings that are far more dangerous than romantic.
The arrangements, deftly interweaving flamenco, fado and Cubana, are intimate and impeccably executed.
This combination of raw emotion and sweet music creates something enthralling.
