"(...) I don't use the word 'magic' lightly when writing on Ojos De Brujo - their name translates as 'Eyes of the Wizard' and the group certainly believe in the earth's elemental energies. Perhaps this is what lends their music such a driving passion. Ojos De Brujo are a Barcelona-based musical collective. Their 2001 debut album Vengue (Edsel) found the band lead by noted Catalan producer/singer Dani 'el mono loco' (literally 'the crazy monkey'). Dani also fronts the successful Catalan band Macaco and when their 2002 album took off across Europe he had to withdraw from Ojos.
Marina was already in the band and for the Bari album she stepped forward, bringing her mix of wailing vocal and brusque Catalan rapping to the forefront. The band members play a variety of instruments and a DJ lends percussive scratching to the sound. 'Flamenco hip-hop' is how one critic described the band. That's fitting yet the band draw on a vast reservoir of sounds - Catalan rumba, reggae, rock, Indian, dance music and more all flow into the Ojos sound.
Inspired by the Spanish Gypsy ethos, Ojos De Brujo are very much a 21st Century roots band."

Wielkie wydarzenie dla fanów tej niesamowitej, barcelońskiej formacji!! Reedycja płyty za sprawą której zyskali międzynarodowy rozgłos, masę prestiżowych nagród i tytuł czołowego przedstawiciela nurtu nazwanego NUEVO FLAMENCO!!
Ojos De Brujo także u nas stali się popularni za sprawą znakomitej płyty „Techari”. Album „Bari” do tej pory w Polsce niedostępny, stanowi smakowity kąsek dla polskich fanów grupy. Flamenco, rumba, hip hop, i dub zagrane z niezwykłą energią i niepodważalną charyzmą. Porywające damsko – męskie wokale którym nie sposób się oprzeć. Wielu twierdzi że to najlepsza płyta Ojos De Brujo, po lekturze „Bari” trudno temu zaprzeczyć. Wyjątkowa muzyka, wyjątkowego zespołu.
