In Spain, where she grew up, Concha Buika is considered as the new star of flamenco music - an aspiring female singer whose voice is described as being a mixture of Tina Turner, Lora Flores and Sarah Vaughan. However, Buika is definitely non-committal to one specific style of music. Moreover, she picked up the twofold influence of her origin. Being the child of African parents who immigrated to Spain as their political exile before her birth, she grew up on the island of Mallorca. In her family, music always played an important role. During her childhood in Spain, she also became acquainted with Gypsy families and spent parts of her free time with making music with them. Her personal background has left its traces on Buika`s music, in which she combines elements of soul, hip hop, jazz, copla and flamenco. Hence, Buika is especially marveled at for her ability to cope with every style of music.
After featuring several reputable deep house productions and bringing out her first solo CD “Buika” in 2005, now she is attracting attention for her music again: her current album “Mi Niña Lola” received the award for Best Produced Album at the Premios de la Musica, which can be considered as the Spanish equivalent to the Grammy awards. “Mi Nina Lola” is featured by an all-star line up, among them the Latin Jazz trumpeter Jerry Gonzales, the flamenco guitarist Nino Josele and the famous song writers Manuel Quiroga and his collaborators Salvador Valverde und Rafael de Léon. The album is produced by the Grammy winner and highly renowned producer Javier Limón (Bebo Val-des/Diega El Cigala: Lagrimas Negras, Paco de Lucia and many others). The Spanish newspaper El Pais calls the album “a revolution”, the Sunday Times exults “a star is born.”
Buika is well-known for her extraordinarily impres-sive live performances, full of energy and emo-tions. This reputation is also reflected in her re-markable concert history: In 2007, Buika was on an extended tour all over globe, alluring and fascinat-ing music-lovers in the world’s greatest cities. In fall 2007, she performed in several big cities in the USA and she is also looking back on a successful tour in France. We hope to see her soon in Central, Northern and Eastern Europe!
