foto de Buika
Buika was born in Palma de Mallorca in 1972 where her family, originally from Guinea Ecuatorial, live. She learnt from her mother to listen to the great voices of jazz, and from the Spanish radio, the copla that rushed into her life. She started singing at bars & pubs in Mallorca, recording several songs (house style) and collaborated with La Fura del Baus in “Ombra”. In 2000, she dosen’t remember exactly how or why, she arrived to Las Vegas where she worked in Casinos as the double of Tina Turner and The Supremes where she got an invitation from Rachelle Ferrell, (a jazz mademoiselle) to act at Club Blue Note. When she moved to Madrid and recorded her first album, in it, she showed the never-ending possibility of her skills as a singer. At the recording studio she kept her style besides the insistence of four producers that wanted to change her personal style. With her second album “Mi Niña Lola”, produced by Javier Limón, she got the credibility, the recognition and the awards (Best musical production and Best album of Spanish song in the Spanish Music Awards; an award from the German critic, etc …), big festivals and the exiting critics that ended up people leaving her concerts without breathe. We can’t resume her career in a sentence but when she opens her mouth you realise there is no singer like her. Buika becomes, with her third album, a “Niña de Fuego” (“Fire little woman”) and Javier Limón took control of production again. In this album, Buika goes back to the Spanish copla, touches for the first time ranchera (Mexican popular song) and some unknown songs composed by herself and Javier Limón. The album is full of love and overall lack of affection songs. Buika sings her personal experience in the lyrics that Javier Limón writes especially for her and also in her own lyrics composed in a lot of sleepless nights during last year’s tour. With her fourth album, Chucho Valdés and Buika met in Abdala studio in Cuba and, and thanks again to Javier Limón, they recorded “El Ultimo Trago”. The album pays homage to Chavela Vargas on her 90th anniversary, covering the repertoire that she has built during her entire career. “Las ciudades”; “Las simples cosas”; “Sombras”; “Luz de Luna”, these are some of the songs that Chavela delivered at New York’s Carnegie Hall, Buenos Aires’ Luna Park, Paris’ Olympia among others.
