Not knowing any Spanish, I don't understand the lyrics, but these songs do not need a language. You can keep listening to it and liking it more as you listen to it more. They are simply beautiful to listen and enjoy. All the songs in this flamenco CD are charged with deep emotion, romance and sensuality. The CD is almost addictive.
Looking forward to her new works. A wonderful voice and technique with an unbelievable performance.I feel born again whenever I listen to her music.
Love listening to it. Very jazzy and soulful (but not as in soul music), as in she's singing from within and sharing with her audience a secret place. Good buy.
Although all the songs are in Spanish, the mood and cadences in the music will bring even the biggest die-hard into the fold of Buika and her spell binding music. With this new release, Buika's silky voice creates yearnings of love, loss and hope against lush jazz chordal changes that will invoke comparison to Sarah Vaughn and other jazz greats. Fiery, soulful, sensual, Concha Buika's new release "Nina de Fuego" (Girl of Fire) has finally crossed the Mediterranean and landed in the United States and is a Latin Grammy nominee for the 2008 Album of the year. Buika is from the island of Majorca (Balearic Islands) whose musical style fuses, Flamenco, Jazz and Salsa.
Her musicianship is amazing in its invention, phrasing, coloring, and variety of sound and emotion; and the engineering on this album is just a treat. Sorry you're not here to hear).
Amazing voce, amazing album. She would make a perfect Carmen, as well perfect for the vocals in El Amor Brujo.
When reviewed on NPR recently, what I heard was delicious. (Wil, you would love Buika.
I will get more of her work. I pulled over on my commute home just to write this down.
She has that wonderful vocie of the real Flamenco singers from Spain that I was introduced to nearly 30 years ago by a Cuban refugee friend and himself a consummate musician in Miami.
