well headed off to Barcelona on vacation soon. Sadly, Spain is one of the few countries about which I am very musically challenged! I know there are tons of Ojos de Brujos fans here, so wondering if folks can recommend other contemporary groups and soloists about which you also are enamored?
thanks so much!
thanks so much!

Hi Eric. I believe our resident World Music tribe member in Barcelona, Ln, should be chiming in shortly. I just took a quick glance at the Calima MySpace page and it looks like they've already hit the road for a busy European summer tour.
OdB apparently are on hiatus, but members of the band are still playing gigs as OdB Soundsystem. Their MySpace page also lists the many collaborators and artists, many based in Barcelona, as their top friends. One of them, Kumar, was mentioned in a post here in the World Music tribe

I'm not sure that all are still together, though. Great music if you can find them, though.
