The musical wizardry which permeated Ojos De Brujos’ last two albums was as refreshing as it was remarkable. ‘Bari’ (2002) and ‘Techari’ (2006) were both saturated with enough exotically intoxicating ideas to satisfy even the most demanding fusion junkie. ‘Memorias Peridias’, one of the standout tracks on ‘Bari’, still sweeps us of our feet every time we hear it. The latest album delivers more of that eclectic and vibrant mix. Expect flamenco, Catalan rumba (the Barcelona Gypsy version of Afro-Cuban dance music), hip-hop, tango, salsa, scratching, and more all fired up with the passion and spirit which is Ojos de Brujo. Aocana shows them further exploring those Cuban connections and also the Gypsy flamenco link back to India. Irresistible.
