An Evening with Susana Baca
UNITED STATES BOSTON • Museum of Fine Arts, Boston • Ongoing |
 |
Afro-Peruvian vocalist and Latin Grammy winner Susana Baca first won an international following with “Maria Lando,” a track on the 1995 David Byrne produced The Soul of Black Peru. Her songs on slavery and suffering and often reworked Afro-Peruvian classics not only serve as a reminder of her past but an exhortation to younger Peruvians to reach back to their past. Baca opened up access to this segment of the society with her jazz-inflected efforts and detailed attention to graceful lyrics, which is often cited as the principal difference between her and her music predecessors.
