Buika

| Spain

pdf logo press review

"Buika belongs to a lineage of artists that is found very rarely. Her voice has an unusual color and a very wide tessitura, gifted for the most intimate caress and for the deafening shriek. Buika only knows how to sing 'with her heart ripped apart.' So young, she makes me tremble because she gives the impression that each performance is the definitive one, the last one." (Pedro Almodovar, New York Times, 22.10.2010)

"The singer, whose full name is Concha Buika, but who is known professionally by just her surname, performs Friday night at Town Hall in Manhattan.[…] Her latest CD “El Ultimo Trago” (“The Last Drink”), released by Warner Music Latina, has been nominated for a pair of Latin Grammy awards, she will soon appear in a Pedro Almodôvar film, and she has collaborated recently on recordings with kindred spirits like the Canadian-Portuguese vocalist Nelly Furtado and the Anglo-Nigerian-Brazilian pop Singer Seal." (Larry Rother for New York Times, 22.10.2010)

"Wow. I was looking forward to this, having quite liked the singer's previous album, but did not dare expect it to be so good. I can't think of an album where a singer has so consistently found the perfect balance of intensity and relaxation, push and pull, challenge and charm. (...) The outcome is an atmospheric suite of mostly moody songs that make this listener wish to be in the singer's presence, to share the moments of ecstasy and anguish, to watch her reaching for exactly the level of passion she needs to make her point."  (Charlie Gillet for The Observer Music Monthly - 4/5, August 2008)

"Unusually, the artist's nudity on the cover is not titillating: it's real. And so it is with the music. Concha Buika's singing is soulful and untamed. The simmering, when it explodes, is overwhelming." (Alan Brownlee for Manchester Evening News - 4/5, June2008)
