I was in Spain and it was late at night. I was scrolling through channels on the television and I came upon a live concert of various flamenco musicians. Enters Concha Buika . . . I was quite unprepared. I was so moved that I couldn't stop talking about it for days. Riviting!! absolutely riviting performance! and it's the first time I've ever used that word. She is probably the most unique and fantastic singer/musician I have ever encountered. Her voice is a natural instrument so fine, so beautiful and rich that it's difficult to believe that she's only human. Many flamenco artists had performed, all great. But, when Concha took the stage her intrinsic beauty alone was so stunning that everyone was immediately captivated. Then she began to sing . . . it was devastatingly beautiful!!! Something so magnificent and pure that she floored the entire audience. When her set was finished there was a brief silence as everyone collected themselves, then a standing round of applause that must have gone on for five minutes. Absolutely remarkable!! She redefines the word rare.

This is my first review ever on Amazon, but I feel compel to let everybody know how great this album is. It is jazz, it is blues, it is Spanish music at its best. This one is on my top 5 ever. It is just brilliant.

Su voz desgarrada, intensa y dúctil, y la impecable musicalización que la acompañan, han convertido a Concha Buika en una de las más grandes revelaciones del llamado "afro flamenco". El segundo disco de esta cantaora originaria de Palma de Mallorca, viene cargado con duende y sabor. Con canciones propias -sobresalen "Mi Niña Lola" y "A mi manera"-, y otras clásicas -las inolvidables "Ojos Verdes" y "Nostalgias-, esta producción es insuperable. No en vano está de por medio la firma de un afamado y acertadísimo productor musical español: Javier Limón. Un disco total y maravilloso que no me canso de oír desde hace más de un año. Absolutamente recomendable.

i first became exposed to concha buika in 2002 when i heard her singing a fantastic house music dance mix called EVERYDAY and right then i knew this lady had what they call in the biz: "it" . She is one of the most gifted and talented performers i have seen in the last decade. her versatility in singing ballad, flamenco,afro-cuban,house,techno,dance,and other genres is amazing and do them all well.Ipredict her the next up and coming. Americans are slow to impress sometimes,but be patient,talent prevails.THis cd is all geared to the slow primitive jazz flamenco compositions all emotive and spiritual. great cd .

I enjoyed this CD. Even though I don't speak the language of the singer, I could sense what she was talking about by the emotion that came through in the way she sang the words and her body language. The music fit the words, set up the mood of the CD, and added to the story she was telling.

This woman's singing is almost indescribable..here are some attempts: spirited, soulful, emotional, if you love Latin, Brazilian, Flamenco - raspy, deep, rich vocals...this is the right choice. It was for me. She's amazing.

I personally love Flamenco music. I was introduced to Buika on public radio. I love this cd her voice is rich and soulful I recommend this album to anyone who likes the genre you won't be disappointed.

i love her voice and her wonderful usuage of this instrument called her voice. She intertwines herself with her music and you fall in love with all her vocal skill and brillance. I am going to see her in Concert on March 3, 2012 at Cal State LA, Luckman Theatre. What a treat..live music with real instruments!

Flamenco fire smoldering in an allusive, illusive and hypnotic pulse. Direct to my HEART. This music just shimmers, flashes, sparks and glows...the voice is phenomenal, emotion-drenched and potent. The arrangements are stunning, understated, always surprising. The instrumentation brilliant and inspired. The production clean, live and punchy...A flawless joy of a CD. Thanks so much Buika, et al!!!

I enjoyed most of the songs but found Nina de Fuego to be more of my liking. I however do love Concha and recommend this CD to all interested in her work. I would like to say " More Flamenco Please Concha"
