Album Review

On this record Susana Baca delivers yet another solid example of why she is the queen of Afro-Peruvian music. These songs drift by like time in a crowded dirt-floor bar, like the hard sweet-sour of well-made cuba libre. A band composed mostly of well-schooled New York session players provides competent backing. Baca's voice is smooth, her songs and world darkly sinister. Anyone into the sounds of her neck of the woods or serious female singers with a unique voice like Cesaria Evoria will certainly enjoy this. Yet another worthy effort from a woman who refuses to pander to the nouveau hippie crowd.

What a beautiful sultry voice

I happen to find this by chance, when purchasing a tito puente concert (with Susana Baca) . She is very talented and her band beautifully accompanys her; you can tell that she puts her soul in it when she sings . The recordings are very clear and well utilizes the stereo.

When I experienced Susana Baca in a small intimate gathering in west hollywood in 2001, I never have forgotten her voice and her performance. Daily i am feed and nourished by electronica, she is the only performer outside of this digital relm to have the most soothing effect on me, more so than the chill of all chill music out there. Thank you and Bravo to the rare performer, Susana Baca.

One suductive voice

I came across Susana Baca on a compilation cd, and immediately fell in love with her voice. I don't speak spanish, so I treat this cd as an instrumental and she has perfected her instrument. Simply beautiful.
