Overview

Known as the "Flamenco Queen" and one of today's hottest world music artists, this Spanish singer performs a heady combination of traditional coplas (female-centric torch songs) and fusions of jazz, Gypsy rumba, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. "Sad love, crazy love, bad love, joyful love, life-or-death love: those were what Buika sang about in her magnificent New York City debut...the emotion was luminous and unmistakable" (The New York Times)
