Summary: La phenomena BUIKA
Comment: 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. 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. 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.

Summary: Exquisite Buika
Comment: When reviewed on NPR recently, what I heard was delicious! I pulled over on my commute home just to
write this down. 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! 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. (Wil, you would love Buika. Sorry you're
not here to hear!) She would make a perfect Carmen, as well perfect for the vocals in El Amor Brujo.
Amazing voce, amazing album. I will get more of her work.

Summary: Very good . . .
Comment: I first discovered Concha Buika while traveling in Spain a couple of years ago and was very
impressed. This recent work by her is, of course, very good but not as stimulating and captivating
as the previous disc.
