Ojos de Brujo
Thursday, November 30, 2006
Hailed by the likes of Charlie Gillett as the best band in the world, and recent winners of the BBC Radio 3 World Music Award for Best European Band, Ojos de Brujo make their case with a striking live show that covers the breadth of Latin and flamenco funk and world music.
The hippest band to emerge from Barcelona’s stable of world class acts they combine catchy melodies, sung by the striking figure and vocally gifted Marina Abad, with an array of snapping percussion, Pastorius-style bass grooves and rippling flamenco guitars, plus vinyl scratches from DJ Panko. With an easy going contemporary sound a kin to the genre hopping brilliance of Manu Chao, these are rising world music superstars, so catch them live when you can.
