Plot

edit

Neil Spenser of The Guardian stated "Now relocated to Miami, she's clearly reaching for a pan-American audience on this sixth album. It's an eclectic affair, taking her acrobatic flamenco vocals into a more jazz flavoured zone and mixing her songs with covers of Jacques Brel and Abbey Lincoln."

Angel Romero of World Music Central said " Vivir sin miedo presents another eclectic mix with a Caribbean flavor and smooth pop flavor, including reggae, dub, ragga, flamenco, R&B, afrobeat, pop and gospel, although the dub feel seems to permeate most of the album. Buika is also trying to appeal to a wider audience so she sings in a mix of Spanish and English."[4]
