Concha Buika - Culpa Mia

The narrator sings that “it’s my fault.” Whosever fault this is, it’s fantastic. Just as spectacular as her other albums (good gift ideas for the people you know who ‘have everything’). We start this tune with a flamenco feel and a minute in we’re joined by trumpets, evoking dreams of the world dancing together. The pianist adds to the spell, and the recipe that comes to fill my ears can only be described as flamenco jazz. Scrumptious, I love the way the song builds in strength. Shoutouts for the title tune, La niña de fuego, and the more traditional flavors of Mentirosa. Concha Buika
