The daughter of African political refugees from Equatorial Guinea, Buika may have grown up poor in a gypsy neighborhood in Mallorca, but her childhood was rich with song. “Like meals, music was a part of our daily life,” she says. Known for her smoky and captivating voice, and her unique blend of jazz, blues and soul with gypsy rumba, Afro-Cuban music and flamenco, Buika is a master of coplas, or torch songs. “Luminous … magnificent … superb!” raves The New York Times.
