Mi Nina Lola

I was in Spain and it was late at night. I was scrolling through channels on the television and I came upon a live concert of various flamenco musicians. Enters Concha Buika . . . I was quite unprepared. I was so moved that I couldn't stop talking about it for days. Riviting!! absolutely riviting performance! and it's the first time I've ever used that word. She is probably the most unique and fantastic singer/musician I have ever encountered. Her voice is a natural instrument so fine, so beautiful and rich that it's difficult to believe that she's only human. Many flamenco artists had performed, all great. But, when Concha took the stage her intrinsic beauty alone was so stunning that everyone was immediately captivated. Then she began to sing . . . it was devastatingly beautiful!!! Something so magnificent and pure that she floored the entire audience. When her set was finished there was a brief silence as everyone collected themselves, then a standing round of applause...Read more

This is my first review ever on Amazon, but I feel compel to let everybody know how great this album is. It is jazz, it is blues, it is Spanish music at its best. This one is on my top 5 ever. It is just brilliant.

Su voz desgarrada, intensa y dúctil, y la impecable musicalización que la acompañan, han convertido a Concha Buika en una de las más grandes revelaciones del llamado "afro flamenco". El segundo disco de esta cantaora originaria de Palma de Mallorca, viene cargado con duende y sabor. Con canciones propias -sobresalen "Mi Niña Lola" y "A mi manera"-, y otras clásicas -las inolvidables "Ojos Verdes" y "Nostalgias-, esta producción es insuperable. No en vano está de por medio la firma de un afamado y acertadísimo productor musical español: Javier Limón. Un disco total y maravilloso que no me canso de oír desde hace más de un año. Absolutamente recomendable.
