La Noche Más Larga
2013 studio album by Concha Buika
La Noche Más Larga is the fifth studio album by Spanish singer Concha Buika. The record was released on June 4, 2013 via Warner Music Spain label.[3]
Plot
[edit]Neil Spenser of The Guardian stated "Now relocated to Miami, she's clearly reaching for a pan-American audience on this sixth album. It's an eclectic affair, taking her acrobatic flamenco vocals into a more jazz flavoured zone and mixing her songs with covers of Jacques Brel and Abbey Lincoln."
Angel Romero of World Music Central said " Vivir sin miedo presents another eclectic mix with a Caribbean flavor and smooth pop flavor, including reggae, dub, ragga, flamenco, R&B, afrobeat, pop and gospel, although the dub feel seems to permeate most of the album. Buika is also trying to appeal to a wider audience so she sings in a mix of Spanish and English."[4]

“I tour through all of these different countries and I sing mostly in Spanish,” says the dynamic Miami-based singer Buika. “I want to prove that it doesn’t matter where a musician comes from-people understand it. It doesn’t matter where I perform- Turkey, France, Japan, the U.S.-something in the atmosphere tells me they understand the words I am singing.”
On her latest and most diverse album La Noche Más Larga (The Longest Night), the Spanish-bred singer of African descent continues to break down the walls that surround flamenco, the root source of everything she does, but a tradition that can’t contain her ever-evolving vision. For the first time in her career Buika, along with her two main musical partners pianist Iván “Melón” Lewis and percussionist Ramón Porrina, were the overall producers of the album. It was recorded in Madrid, Miami, and New York with a dazzling group of musicians from both sides of the Atlantic. forming a top-flight combo with the chops and imagination to match the singer’s disregard for genre boundaries. As usual, her powerhouse voice renders those lines invisible.
That CD garnered Buika a nomination in one of the Latin GRAMMY’s most prestigious categories, “Record of the Year” for the song “La Nave
