Susana Baca Lamento Negro CD

2002 LATIN GRAMMY WINNER FOR BEST FOLK ALBUM!!

Susana Baca belongs to a new generation of Peruvian singers, delving into the shadows of the past to recover shimmering melodies and seductive rhythms. The delicacy of Baca's voice makes her one of today's most popular Latin American singers. Her seemingly effortless interpretative skills belie years of work assembling the songs, the stories and the steps of music and dances once consigned to history.

Baca is a renowned interpreter of contemporary Afro-Peruvian music, the intimate lando and samba rhythms of her country. She sings love lyrics of Latin America's greatest poets--Pablo Neruda, Peruvian Cesar Vallejo, and Uruguayan Mario Benedetti. This is an irresistible album!
