Editorial Reviews

Buika unveils herself on the cover and bears all on her third album,
Niña de Fuego. Buika does away with the costumes that usually
decorate album covers, stripping away all but her feelings.
When she moved to Madrid and recorded her first album, she showed
the never-ending possibility of her skills as a singer. With her second
album,Mi Niña Lola, produced by Javier Limón, she got the
credibility, the recognition, the awards, the performances, and the
exciting reviews that left people breathless.
Her career cannot be summarized in a sentence but when she opens her
mouth you realize there is no singer like her.
Buika now arrives with her third album, Niña de Fuego (Girl
of Fire) again teaming up with producer Javier Limón. On this album,
Buika returns to the Spanish copla, performs for the first time several
ranchera songs, and also some new songs composed by herself and Javier
Limón. The album is full of songs about love and longing affection.
Buika sings of her personal experience in the lyrics that she and Javier
Limón wrote and composed.

All the songs in this flamenco CD are charged with deep emotion, romance and sensuality. The CD is almost addictive. You can keep listening to it and liking it more as you listen to it more. Not knowing any Spanish, I don't understand the lyrics, but these songs do not need a language. They are simply beautiful to listen and enjoy.

Ever since I read a synopsis of her life and music career in the newspaper a year ago, I was intrigued. I went to see her in a small local theater, and since then I was hooked. She mixes African and Spanish rythms with jazz and Latin beats to create an amazing sound. Her voice is captivating and penetrating. She portrays herself through her music.

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.
