Lincoln Center says…

Rising Afro-Spanish star Buika’s rich, romantic rasp hints at her West African lineage while it mainlines flamenco’s Gypsy soul, as she sings against emotional dictatorships, telling tales of turbulent affairs of the heart. Urban Bush Women celebrate 25 years of weaving contemporary dance, music, and text with the history, culture, and spiritual traditions of the African Diaspora, bringing the untold and under-told histories and stories of disenfranchised people to light.
