Arts crossing the hemispheres. Gypsy arts morphing into the world. Spanish lyrics, says Jon Pareles in the New York Times, 10/29/07, about Buika's performance, in the music review "Gypsy Spirit Infuses the Fusion, "but the emotion luminous and unmistakable."
Buika was born on Mallorca, with parents from Equatorial Guinea. Her art blends pop, flamenco, jazz, African music and soul. Her album is "Mi Nina Lola. Going now to listen.
"Spanish singer and songwriter who has conceived her own diaspora: one in which the Gypsies, who catalyzed flamenco, crossed the Atlantic to meet Cuban music and jazz."
