Susana Baca – Afrodiaspora (2011)
For decades, Grammy Award winner Susana Baca has represented Peruvian music to the world. Here, Susana gives voice to her life-long immersion in the music of the African Diaspora. The songs of African descendants in Cuba, Argentina, New Orleans, and across the world…the rhythms of forro, cumbia, tango… Afrodiaspora is a travelog that spans centuries and continents through the voice of one of the world’s most celebrated singers.
