Biuka: The Voice of Freedom

Listen to this link then come back and read: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKy_uZCC-Ko .

Thanks to NPR, I heard this incredible woman this evening. Wonderful in all qualities of singing, she said that freedom liberated her voice. Parents from an oppressive African country, raised as the only black in a gypsy enclave in Mallorca, a Spanish island, openly bisexual and a single mom. Talk about a few strikes. This woman didn't strike out. Her voice is amazing. I now have a new artist to listen to. And to learn and learn from. Don’t miss this one.
