Music reviews of Bari
Music Review: Flamenco evolves...
Rating: 5 Stars
Combining influences from their Gypsy/Gitano/Flamenco roots with the contemporary sounds of techno and hip hop and then blending it all into an unstoppable continuum of infectious rhythms, Ojos de Brujo, the eccentric and wildly colorful group of musicians from Barcelona have come up with something truly new and exciting.
Don't let the words hip hop and techno fool you though. Ojos de Brujo's music is still authentically Spanish with the unmistakable Flamenco, Gitano and Latin stylings present throughout the album. It's this fusion of Flamenco/Gitano with a subtle rap, techno and contemporary edge that infuses their music with something I've not heard done quite like this before. And it works.
Oh boy does it work. The music drives and pulses with all of the passion and rhythm that Spanish Gypsy music is known for. But it pushes beyond the boundaries of all that and moves things on into a realm that's new and unexpected. It's like these guys picked up where the Gypsy Kings left off and weren't afraid to roll with it and see where it'd go. It'll start to get under your skin from the first listen and then gradually take you over, till like me you find yourself listening to it all the time because it just keeps getting better and better.
Marina "La Canillas" Abad, lead female vocalist for the group has a beautiful, powerful and at times haunting voice that conjurs up images of gypsies dancing around a campfire in a cave somewhere deep in the heart of Spain. Her passion takes a wild and wonderful turn as she moves almost imperceptibly from singing into a visceral Spanish rap. Let me tell you though, you've never heard rapping like this before. Even if you don't like rap, and a lot of people don't, "La Canillas" will likely change the way you feel about it. It makes so much sense here and seems perfectly at home in the driving, rhythmic heart of Flamenco.
This is a woman who knows how to rein it back in though - and when she does she does it beautifully, gliding along effortlessly with some of the more contemporary Latin-styled music on the album.
Ojos de Brujo got their start performing in the streets of Barcelona along the Paseo and in the Gothic Quarter - joining an astonishing array of musicians from all over the world who perform in the streets there in exchange for a few coins tossed into their guitar and violin cases. Remembering how amazed I've been by the musicians I've heard performing in the streets of Barcelona, it comes as no surprise that Ojos de Brujo rose up from all that. The city attracts and nurtures some pretty amazing talent.
Music is always evolving and though some out there think Flamenco should be left alone, I think that Ojos de Brujo are doing it justice by infusing it with just enough new blood to keep it fresh and interesting without straying too far from its fiery, plaintive and passionate core.
Chances are good that the vocalizing on Zambra (Gypsy Party -Track 6) will have you stomping your feet, throwing your hands in the air and shouting ole` uncontrollably if you have any kind of appreciation for or connection to Spanish music. The album is rich with unexpected sounds and interesting twists and continues to amaze me with just how original and good the music is on it. It's exciting music; it's new, it's fresh and it gets me wanting to dance and move my body.
Even with all its inventiveness, it's still Spanish music and I like the way the Ojos de Brujo never loses sight of that when it comes to this album. These guys are leading the pack when it comes to reaching backwards and forwards all at the same time and doing it without compromising anything in either direction.
Bari is an amazingly good debut album from some great musicians. It's skillfully produced, tightly spun at its core and chock full of great music. Turn it on, crank it up and get ready to have some fun.

Some may complain that Ojos De Brujo is simply the latest group to pillage flamenco music, but they'd be missing the point. This Barcelona band grew up with the flamenco tradition while also devouring a steady diet of hip-hop, punk, funk, gypsy and Middle Eastern music, so the inclusion of rapping, turntables and funk grooves is a logical one for these upstarts. Marina "La Canillas" Abad doesn't have the range that a conservatory-trained singer might have, but she makes up for it with her vivid, socially conscious lyrics and staccato delivery, which can skitter into rapid-fire rapping that resonates surprisingly well with flamenco's chattering rhythms. Indeed, the group is unafraid to mix anything: "Naita" starts out as a traditional song before breaking into a techno finale. More graceful is the fusion on "Memorias Perdías," which meshes flamenco, gypsy and swing jazz. One of the most hotly anticipated releases of the spring, Bari has a punky spirit that will make it a pick on many year-end lists. ?-Tad Hendrickson
