Concha Buika (born 1972 in Palma de Mallorca) is a Spanish singer also known as Buika.

Her family came from Equatorial Guinea and she grew up among gypsy people. Her music mixes flamenco with soul, jazz and funk.

She was born in Palma de Mallorca in 1972. Ever since she was a child her musical talent was evident, but it was after a visit to London to study drama when, after being invited to a concert by Pat Metheny that her life changed.

From that moment she began her musical career. During the 90s she took part in different productions, such as 'Ombra' by La Fura dels Baus or the soundtrack for the Spanish movie 'Km.O'. At the same time she composed several songs such as 'Ritmo para voçé', 'Up to the sky' and 'Loving you' (all of them house successes in Europe).

From November 2000 to March 2001 she sang at The Luxor, Harrah's and Gold Coast casinos in Las Vegas. She also performed as a guest singer in the 'Blue Note' festival in the same city together with Rachelle Ferrell.

Concha is a singer who handles many musical styles (jazz, bolero, flamenco, funk, ...). She is one of the most lively and spontaneous artists in the current Spanish musical scene.
