OJOS DE BRUJO

Ojos de Brujo is one of the most strikingly original bands of the new millennia.  There is no one quite like them, not only because of their vibrant flamenco-inspired musicality, but also because of their radical contemporary edge, and strong collective spirit. They reflect their Spanish and gypsy roots, but are as far from traditional flamenco as it's possible to get. Their live shows have become stuff of legend, and their albums have garnered numerous critical and commercial plaudits. In short they are a revelation, a breath of fresh air in a congested and often uninspired contemporary roots scene.

The name Ojos de Brujo translates as Eyes of the Wizard. "We used this because we think that wizards, witches, and sorcerers are the people who have more of a conscience than the rest of the population. They are more aware of what is going on in this fucked up world. So we think that music and every other art form should be trying to help make the world become more conscious and aware. Also, Brujo is a word strongly connected to flamenco. Gypsies have always had their witches and wizards taking care of them."

Techarí

Work on Techari started at the end of March 2005 and was completed at the end of October. In between the band did two international tours, which stop-started the recording process. "The tours took away a lot of concentration in-between, so it was a little crazy, but the result is amazing," says Xavi. "For me it's the first time that I've been really happy with an album I've made. I feel that we're getting there, to a point where the sound is the way that we want."

Special guests include Faada Freddy from Senegalese hip hop collective Daara J, Asian Dub Foundation's Prithpal Rajput, and Nitin Sawhney (who returned the favour after ODB collaborated on two tracks for his album 'Philtre'). Cuban pianist Roberto Carcassés also makes an appearance alongside respected flamenco guitarist Pepe Habichuela, and tres/flamenco guitarist Raúl Rodríguez (Son de la Frontera). Cuban drums are used in Bulerias, funk is layered onto Catalan Rumba, and Dhol drums add an Eastern flavour to the mix. However the band are at pains to point out that any collaborations are the result of new friendships, and not any cynical label or marketing strategy. For Ojos de Brujo the process is always organic and from the heart.
