Operacin Triunfo 2023 faces its final streak and is preparing to decide who will be the winner of the first edition broadcast on a streaming platform: Amazon Prime Video, who seems to have been very satisfied with the results of the production. And, although they have little to say in a gala in which the public decides the champion, the jury has been an important part in the development of the format.
Cris Regatero, Pablo Rouss and Concha Buika have been the permanent members of a tribunal whose task was to decide which triumphs deserved to continue in the program and who should be nominated. Of all of them, The one who has given the most media content has been the singer, especially for her toughness and naturalness when evaluating the contestants.
Although she had been away from the media environment for some time, Buika’s career does not need much introduction. Daughter of political exiles from Equatorial Guinea, she developed her passion for music in Palma de Mallorcawhere his contact with the gypsy people brought him closer to flamenco rhythms.
Since he published his first album, Mestizo, in 2000, Buika has released several more works in the form of albums or solo songs. Two of the best known are his version of Mi nia Lola or the adaptation of the copla Ojos Verdes. Authentic anthems that earned him, in the case of the first, a Gold Record and an award for Best Spanish Song Album.
He has collaborated with artists of the stature of Nelly Furtado, Chavela Vargas, Chucho Valdés and Pedro Almodvar, for whom he made the soundtrack of the film The Skin I Live In. In addition, he won a Latin Grammy for the album The Last Drink, was nominated five more times and twice for the Grammy for the works La noche máslong in 2014 and For me, in 2017.
The concept of trisexuality
Although his main residence has been established in Miami for years, Buika has never left Spain, as he confessed in an interview in La Voz de Galicia in 2021. In that same conversation she said that she had a trombonist boyfriend and that her previous relationship was with a crazy dog who treated her badly and stole the money for her children.
I am trisexual, three-phase and three-dimensional, I revealed in another interview back in 2008. It was the first thing that occurred to me to respond to a journalist who insisted on asking me if I was lesbian, bisexual or if I was. And I answered that because I don’t believe in that nonsense. In fact, She applied it literally when she came to live with her husband and a girlfriend he had. In the end, she was the one who left the family unit to go live with her son and her sister.
