Born Concha Buika in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, her family came from Equatorial Guinea; she grew up among gypsy people. Ever since she was a child her musical talent was evident, but it was after a visit to London to study drama when, after being invited to a Pat Metheny concert that her life changed. From that moment she began her musical career. During the 1990s she took part in different productions, such as Ombra by La Fura dels Baus and the soundtrack for the Spanish film Km.O. At the same time she composed several songs such as "Ritmo para voçé", "Up to the Sky", and "Loving You" (all of them house successes in Europe).
From November 2000 to March 2001 she sang at The Luxor, Harrah's, and Gold Coast casinos in Las Vegas. She also performed as a guest singer at the Blue Note festival in the same city.

Ay de mi primavera
Buika Lyrics

-ESTRIBILLO-
The lyrics to Buika's song Ay de mi primavera (Oh, my spring) express a desire for independence and self-discovery. The singer is asking someone to leave her be and to stop looking at her as if she needs their guidance or approval. She declares that she wants to be alone and that she is resolute in her decision to pursue her own destiny, regardless of whether or not others will judge her for it. She expresses regret for what she has lost, longing to regain her former self, but acknowledges that finding a new path will take time and patience. She grapples with the weight of the past and the uncertainty of the future but ultimately asserts her determination to find her own way, even if it means taking a slower, more deliberate approach.
The song is layered with themes of self-discovery, independence, regret, and the struggle to reconcile one's past with their present and future. The use of the metaphor of spring as a time of rebirth and growth echoes this sentiment, as the singer longs to regain what she has lost and find a new path forward.

She came through my life like a velvet hurricane, eyes ablaze and , I
said, "Put that thing away, you're going to hurt my feelings". She said,
"Your feelings are the last thing you need to worry about, ". That was
the moment I fell in peace...
