Buika at the TD Toronto Jazz Festival
Blending flamenco, jazz, and soul, Buika is one of the most dynamic and individualistic vocalists on the music scene today.
Known as simply Buika to her millions of fans around the world, she sings in Spanish, Catalan, English, French and Portuguese, and has inspired collaboration with such artists as Anoushka Shankar, Chick Corea, Chucho Valdés, Seal, Nelly Furtado and more.
On her latest and most diverse album, La Noche Más Larga (The Longest Night), the Spanish-bred singer of African descent continues to break down the walls that surround flamenco, the root source of everything she does, but a tradition that can't contain her ever-evolving vision. For the first time in her career Buika, along with her two main musical partners pianist Iván “Melón” Lewis and percussionist Ramón Porrina, were the overall producers of the album. It was recorded in Madrid, Miami, and New York with a dazzling group of musicians from both sides of the Atlantic forming a top-flight combo with the chops and imagination to match the singer's disregard for genre boundaries. As usual, her powerhouse voice renders those lines invisible.
