The African-Spanish performer will also play in Sydney

World music performer Buika will finally hit our shores in March to bring to us her stunning, Grammy-nominated sixth album La Noche Más Larga (The Longest Night). The songstress will be performing at WOMADelaide, as well as a just announced Sydney show.

She'll play at Sydney's City Recital Hall Angel Place on Wednesday 5 March at 8pm, before heading off to Adelaide for her much anticipated festival appearance.

La Noche Más Larga (The Longest Night) was nominated for the best Latin Jazz Album in the 56th Grammy Awards and was mostly written by the artist herself, with Iván “Melón” Lewis and percussionist Ramón Porrina being the overall producers of the record. The songstress believes it is her bravest and most diverse record yet, feeling it was "made from a state of freedom.”

Buika has received much praise from both the industry and those in it, causing her to win two Latin Grammy Awards in 2008 and 2010, be named one of the Best 50 Vocalists Of All Time by NPR and enabled her the opportunity to collaborate with Seal and Nelly Furtado.
