Admired Spanish world music band Ojos de Brujo will be back in North America for a brief tour in June. The group is promoting its latest CD, Techari (Diquela Records, 2006).
Ojos de Brujo is a flamenco hybridization band based in Barcelona, Spain. The band caused a stir in international music circles in 2003-2004 with its mesmerizing hip hop flamenco. The group, whose name means “eyes of the wizard,” creates musical magic with its irresistible sound that blends flamenco with hip-hop, funk, samba, reggae and other world musics. One of Spain’s most popular live musical acts, the group is composed of musicians on flamenco guitar, bass, and percussion; a DJ, and a dancer, and features the compelling lead vocals of Marina Abad.
