Ojos de Brujo - Memorias Perdidas Remix

Rumba Catalana ...Ojos de Brujo ... appeals to the youth by addressing social issues and concerns within their music. The group name, Eyes of the Sorcerer reflects this theme. According to group members, the eyes of the sorcerer look deeper into the issues and reveal the truth.
... none of their songs address politics; instead many reveal current social situations in Spain. One of their songs, "Nada en la nevera" (2001), "Nothing in the Fridge," Ojos de Brujos highlights poverty, not only in Spain but throughout the world by singing about someone who wakes up every morning to find nothing in the refrigerator. Criticizing society, in the song "Naita" the singer says, "La sangre se me rebela cuando me pongo a pensar que aquí unos tienen de tó y que otros no tienen de ná" or "My blood boils when I think that there are some who have everything and others who have nothing".
Mixing "dub, hip hop, and flamenco, just to name a few, allows Ojos de Brujo a wide range of expression. By blending flamenco and rumba, grabbing handfuls of hip hop, dub and modern-sounding drum licks and bass lines the group makes forward-looking music that could definitely have been made only in Spain and probably only in Barcelona."

...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.
