Buika To Perform At The Kimmel

The term unique sort of loses its luster when used loosely, but for soulful singer Buika it truly applies:

"It's not like anything I've ever heard."

Radio Report:

KYW's Mike Dougherty reports Matt Wolf, Vice President of Programming for the Kimmel Center, says he can't wait for Buika's Philadelphia debut on October 26th:

"She's a very, very exciting vocalist. She was named one of the top 50 great voices by NPR."

Wolf struggled to put a label on her music because there are just so many different influences in play for this African born, Spanish-raised singer:

"It's a great mix of jazz, funk, flamenco, copla and new soul."

Tickets are still available but selling fast. For more information, visit www.KimmelCenter.org.
