Buika

Spine tingling voice that smoulders with soul and cracks with flamenco passion

Buika's music is an elated mix of flamenco, jazz, and Cuban soul, as well as her own Afro-Spanish heritage. Her throaty vocals cut deep then reach higher, testifying to her unbounded approach to her music and her life. Lauded as revolutionary in her native Spain she has moved beyond flamenco and jazz.

Chambao

Platinum purveyors of flamenco chill who are at the technological frontier of Spain's reinvention of Flamenco.
