Review:
This early CD of ODB was a difficult one to find but is essential listening. It is fascinating to hear their 'stripped down' early sound and the material is of such a quality! Their roots are here for all to enjoy and you can appreciate how magnificently they developed. Their creativity, playfulness, energy and musicianship is at the level throughout.
About the Band:
Ojos de Brujo ("Sorcerer Eyes" in English) was a nine-piece band from Barcelona who describe their style as "jipjop flamenkillo" (hip-hop with a little flamenco). 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 (having also been nominated in 2003).
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.
