SUSANA BACA Eco De Sombres (Putumayo/Elite) It is said that passion intensifies with restraint; then the beautifully cool vocals of Susana Baca over her band's deep Afro-Peruvian grooves is as emotional as it gets. On this collection of classic songs they move their deep traditions forward by collaborating with the cream of New York's downtown musicians and producers. A visionary artist. Susana Baca is wed to a sound and a history. Her music was born in the coastal barrios of Peru, but her artistry can't be contained within these boundaries, just as her appeal can't be limited to cognoscenti of Afro-Peruvian traditional song. Listening to her sing, you hear not simply a Peruvian song, or a Latin singer, but a singer and a voice capable of moving any listener. Doesn't matter who you are or where you're from. Doesn't even matter if you understand Spanish. Listen, and you will go to the place Susana wants to take you, a place of joy or sadness or longing or resolve.Click on album image to see larger album cover
