Ojos de Brujo
''Ojos de Brujo'' ("Sorcerer Eyes" in English〔(New York Times review of group, June 30, 2007 )〕) was a nine-piece band from Barcelona, Spain, who describe their style as "jipjop flamenkillo" (hip-hop with a little flamenco).〔 (Official site )〕 The band sold over 100,000 copies of their self-produced ''Barí'' album, and has received several awards, among these the BBC Radio 3 World Music Award for Europe in 2004〔(Ojos de Brujo receives the award for Best European Group at the 2004 BBC Radio )〕 (having also been nominated in 2003〔(BBC - Radio 3 Awards for World Music 2003 - Ojos de Brujo )〕).
Their success is also notable for being achieved without the aid of label backing; they set up their own label, La Fábrica de Colores, to get complete artistic freedom for ''Barí'', away from the pressure they perceived from their record company Edel Records for their debut ''Vengue.''〔(c h i c a g o I N N E R V I E W )〕
==Music==
Flamenco is clearly central to their sound; Ramón Giménez observed "the magic lies in the flamenco... that is the heartbeat of Ojos de Brujo's songs."〔(Ojos de Brujo flamenco hip-hop group. Interview )〕 However, they are definitely not pure flamenco. Xavi Turull said: "''...we aren't trying to do flamenco. What we are doing is using the richness of flamenco and the richness of other music to build up something different. Maybe sometimes I would say that flamenco is the strongest ingredient, but we aren't trying to do flamenco.''"〔 Upon the release of their first album, Vengue (1999), the flamenco fusion group did receive a lot of skepticism and criticism from the flamenco purists. Many of them refused to acknowledge that the music was true flamenco and that it strayed from its foundation, style and structure. However, according to the group, their music reflects the past of flamenco and its multicultural roots. The gypsies themselves are diverse and multicultural, a people from the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Iberia. Ojos de Brujos takes this same theme and blends flamenco music with the diverse musical genres of today like hip hop and pop to modernize flamenco.〔"Flamenco Fusion." NPR. 31 Aug. 2003. 22 Apr. 2008 .〕 For example Flamenco is combined in their music with other influences including Afro-Cuban,〔(Ojos de Brujo: an interview with Barcelona's roots wizards )〕 the rap and scratching/turntablism of Hip Hop, and Indian music. The music of Ojos de Brujo uses the drama of flamenco, but carries it along on a steady rhythmic foundation, making the group's music a closer relative to rumba catalana. Usually the focus of Ojos' songs are the vocals by Marina "La Canillas" Abad, which move smoothly from gritty flamenco wail to authoritative rapping. The blend of music opens up their audience base and provides more opportunity to keep creating new types of sounds.〔
