Susana Baca - Seis Poemas - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2021 . In the 50th year of her musical career, Susana Baca has no intention of surrendering her creativity to the will of others and Palabras Urgentes is not just another album in her discography. It is more than that. It is a musical creation, a collection of songs, intended to take on today's difficult times. The album was not created to be just a beautiful distraction or as a means to charm the listener. On the contrary, Susana has recorded this album as a form of protest and to spark debate - and the listener must understand this to really understand the album - but, also, as a means to encourage us to cherish and value the time we are given and to live in the fullest sense. Palabras Urgentes is a collection of 10 songs that attempts to bottle the heritage and tradition of those that once fought for a better world. It was recorded in Cañete, a small town located 150 kilometres from Peru's Capital, and the songs are given added life by the presence and support of Michael League (Snarky Puppy, Bokanté, David Crosby) whose production brings a universal and contemporary sound to the album.

Susana Baca - Susana Baca [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/21/2003

Susana Baca's newest collection of music (and her first in 4 years) Travesias, chronicles the songstress' exploration of oral traditions from Africa, Haiti, France, Ireland, and Italy in addition to her native Peru. Working with Susana for the third time, producer Craig Street helmed Travesias, cultivating arrangements that have been pared downed to reveal the steadfast rhythm of Susanna's longtime band members Juan Cotito Medrano, David Pinto and Sergio Valdeos. Gilberto Gil, Marc Ribot, Kevin Breit and the Tosca Strings are among the guests included on the album. Simple arrangements combined with Susana's distinctive voice translate the essence of each song's sentiment of love and struggle.
