Buika is an extraordinarily talented female singer who would surely rank among the top five in the world.

A Black Spanish artist who represents the nuevo flamenco scene, she is now based in the United States and drawing attention from the global Latin music community.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Ay Amor.
