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.

We are the new of spanish collective (from spanish collective)
Me da la gana de sentirme acompañada para el resto de mi vida
Ay que a mi me da la gana de quemarme ay un poquito el corazón
Pero solo el corazón
La soledad viene sin patria, donde te pilla te mata, mi hermano
Tanta patria y tanta convicción vas a acabar sin corazón
Yo no porque yo libre soy

The lyrics of Buika's song "New Afro Spanish Generation" are best understood when taken in the context of the history of immigration in Spain. The song is an ode to the new Afro-Spanish generation, which refers to the people, especially immigrants, of African origin who have made Spain their home, and who have contributed to the country's cultural richness.
The opening lines, "We are Arabian trans of progress. We are the new of Spanish collective" seem to communicate pride in the Arab and Afro-Spanish identities, with a nod to the progress that has been made in terms of social acceptance and cultural unity. Throughout the song, Buika sings of feeling free and unburdened by the expectations of identity imposed on her by others. She claims to be "not from America", to not carry in her blood the heritage of her Gitano, Paya, or other Spanish ancestors. Instead, she identifies with the barrio of Madrid, where one's cultural identity is not prescribed but lived.
The chorus, "No soy americana, This is my country, I am from the barrio, Madrid sin cese" translates to "I am not American, this is my country, I am from the neighborhood, Madrid without rest." This speaks to the idea that one can feel at home and proudly identify with a place, even if they may not seem to fit the prescribed cultural norms. The song calls on all people, regardless of where they come from, to find unity in this diversity and create something new and beautiful together.

Alf Gui Creí que eras mexicano por usar el término güero con significado de blanco, ya que esto, es un mexicanismo que significa "rubio" y por extensión, "blanco". En español de España, güero significa sólamente "hueco".
Esto según el DRAE. Perdona por mi error; ya que es cierto que escribiste "somos".
Y referente al término "colonia", tengo la decencia de mirarlo en el diccionario y su significado, entre otros, es "territorio administrado por una potencia extranjera".
Esto es el SISTEMA COLONIAL, que expandido durante el SXIX, consistía en la explotación de materias primas a cambio de venta de productos manufacturados, separación de la población local, etc. Ahora bien, por extensión, también se ha llamado colonias a las provincias de ultramar (y así, por ejemplo a las tiendas de ultramarinos se las llamaba también tiendas de "coloniales").
Pero repito, se refieren a territorio no plenamente nacional, sino incorporado por razones de explotación (las colonias británicas). La población no tiene los mismos derechos que los colonizadores.
Esto JAMÁS ha ocurrido en España.
Cualquier habitante de México, pongo por caso, estaba regido por las mismas leyes que un español de la península.
Una colonia se denomina también a la población de una determinada nacionalidad en territorio extraño Vrg. "La colonia de españoles en Munich".
Se hace, por tanto distinción entre las dos poblaciones.
Mi bisabuelo era portorriqueño y era, pues como ahora un canario, es decir un español de pleno derecho. No vivía en ninguna colonia. Aquello ERA España.
Es un error muy común, no obstante. Mi abuelo se ponía enfermo cuando lo escuchaba.
Perdona si no me he hecho entender, pero no comprendo lo que me dices de la edulcoración.
