Private EyesBy Hiya SwanhuyserPublished on February 21, 2008 at 4:20amWe dream sweet dreams of Barcelona, where the ladies all look like Penelope Cruz and the men all look like Gael García Bernal. (We fully realize that Bernal is Mexican, not Spanish. But this is our fantasy, so hush.) The Ojos de Brujo show and unveiling of its new DVD isn't going to calm us down any, with the band's silky hip-hop updates of already-sexy flamenco and rumba sounds. Traditional vocal harmonies meet bhangra beats in the company of plenty of guitarras and trompetas, not to mention bateria. The band includes a dancer, because when you rep flamenco, you can do that.
