Ojos de Brujo

Another music recommendation today in our probably misplaced attempt to broaden people’s horizons. Ojos de Brujo are a Spanish band (the name means ‘Eyes of the Witch’) who make an incredibly hyperactive blend of hip hop/scratching/grafitti and samples combined with traditional flamenco. The result is fast, catchy, highly rhythmical and makes for an explosive and intense live show. If you ever get a chance to see them live then GO! They played Glastonbury festival last year (& the year before I think) and are due to play in London in April. The new album Techari came out today and my copy hasn’t been off my player since. If you only hear one track then make it Ventilator R-80. You’ll thank me.
