Bio:
María Concepción Balboa Buika, “Buika” from Majorca, Spain, daughter of African parents of the Bubi tribe (Equatorial Guinea) immersed and surrounded by multiple cultures throughout her life, had a variety of musical influences, from jazz and flamenco to pop, soul and African polyrhythms. “My mother would listen and dance to many musical genres, she had a great record collection.”
This eclectic upbringing shaped Buika’s ability to make music without limitations. During her 15-year recording career her albums have flown seamlessly between pop, jazz, soul, reggae, afro beat, R&B and flamenco.
Equally diverse are her collaborators, including Pat Metheny, Anoushka Shankar, Chick Corea, Niño Josele, Bebo and Chucho Valdés, Seal, and Nelly Furtado to name a few.
Filmmaker and longtime fan, Pedro Almodóvar, remarked about Buika, “Seeing her draw from such different genres… Mix them all together with such grace and spontaneity, one cannot help but think that there is a brighter future as long as one can witness the boundless evolution of this infinite performer.”

Clips
► The matrix originated as an extension of a record shop opened to divulge the little known music of the people of the Recôncavo and sertão of Bahia, Brazil (per this interview with David Dye for U.S. National Public Radio), along with other great Brazilian music. But in order to work for these people, the matrix has to work for all artists everywhere.
