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.

Talk To Me
Buika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoy me levanta el sol de la mañana llevo
Dando vuelta por la sal desde bien entra la madrugada
No se si despertate es pronto todavía
No se si volver a llorar o
Echarle el humo prohibido al motor de la risa
Maldita madrugada poblada de fantasmas
Despiértate que quiero estar contigo
Talk to me, habla
Cógeme las manos niño dime que no pasa nada
Dime que la luz vendrá y entrara en casa
Talk to me, habla
Hay cuenta me que estoy del mundo
Y que el mundo es mio, oye ven háblame
Me muerdo de las ganas, salgo a la ventana
Intentare explicarme y no encontrare palabras
Por la mañana, no se si me entenderás
Yo a ti si te comprendo discúlpame amor mio
Soy yo que no me encuentro, ay
Maldita paranoia de dos de la mañana enemiga y a la ves amiga
No se si vienes a hundirme o a salvar me la vida
Maldita madrugada, poblada de fantasma
Niño necesito tu abrigo
Levántate que quiero hablar contigo
Yo no tengo remedio pa' noches que no acaban
Ya no me quedan fuerzas, pa' esperar la luz del alba
Weak daddy

She's not sure if it's too early to wake the person she longs to be with, and she's not sure if she should try and chase away her sadness or embrace it.
Throughout the song, Buika vacillates between hope and despair, with moments of clarity interspersed with moments of self-doubt. She feels lost and alone, haunted by ghosts and phantoms that lurk in the shadows.
