Born to African parents from Equatorial Guinea, Buika grew up in Majorca, Spain, and is now based in Madrid, Spain’s melting pot and most multicultural city. Buika spent much of her childhood in the company of the island’s gypsies, who introduced her to their flamenco repertoire and attitudes. Buika is at the crossroads of many genres, a place where jazz, funk, flamenco, copla and neo-soul come together in a sublime, musical pact.
