Unlike the other weeks' opening bands, Leilah Broukhim isn't based in Ibiza although she has played here many times before, especially at Las Dalias. She was born in New York but her love for flamenco dance brought her to Madrid, where she's been based since 2000.
As she remarked, she's first of all a flamenco dancer and then a singer-songwriter but she came to sing. Alone with her guitar and under the watchful eye of her dad and some close friends, she played "Inspiration", "September in Seville", "Si me lo pides", "Muse", "Outer body/inner mind" and "Forbidden love" among other songs.
So far she has only released a few singles but I'm sure we'll hear more from her in the near future.
Ana López Rodríguez, better known under the moniker of Anni B Sweet, was born in Málaga, studied and started her music career in Madrid and then moved to Granada. The indie pop-folk singer is one of the most international spanish artists, with one of her peak moments being the single "A place called world" with John Legend (used on a San Miguel TV ad in 2014), one of her many collabs with other people. She began singing in english (Start, restart, undo-2009, Oh, monsters!-2012, the EP Ridiculous games-2013 and Chasing illusions-2015) and then, for her fourth full-length album, changed to spanish. Universo por estrenar (2019) was produced by James Bagshaw from Temples and it was followed last year by a 7-inch single featuring a cover of Los Secretos' classic "Déjame" (btw, they will play on the island at the beginning of october).
After her appearance last weekend at the prestigious Sonorama Ribera festival in Burgos with the full band (were she shared the stage with the likes of Derby Motoreta's Burrito Kachimba, El Kanka, La Habitación Roja, Los Zigarros, Sidonie, etc) it was the turn of Ibiza. This was actually her second time at Dorado Live Shows as she already played unannounced in 2017. That time she first did a surprise 3-song set alone before Lori Meyers and then joined them for their encore. Last night she returned in acoustic format but backed by another two musicians, Víctor Cabezuelo on keyboards and Julia Martín-Maestro on drums (both members of Rufus T. Firefly), except during the first three songs were she played alone. Difficult not to fall for her charm, her powerful voice and songs like "Shiny days", "Locked in verses", "Sola con la luna" or "Buen viaje". The absolute highlight of the evening was the cover of "No puedo vivir sin ti" by Los Ronaldos (whose singer Coque Malla rerecorded it with her some years ago), with the crowd singing every word of it. Simply stunning.
On a side note, her record label Subterfuge Records will be hosting a week of events at some of Concept Hotel Group's hotels from 23rd to 27th of september. Other artists on its roster that have played at Santos in the past include Vinila Von Bismark, Arizona Baby, Cycle and Viva Suecia.
