Concert
Susana Baca
A voice like a quiet storm: Susana Baca, “The Voice of Black Peru“, performs songs that delve deep into dark emotional worlds – pain, nostalgia, desire.
Susana Baca is the Peruvian culture minister – but that does not stop the 67-year-old Latin Grammy-winner from giving concerts in Europe! She has enjoyed international success as a singer for over a decade. In her music, she emphasizes Afro-Peruvian traditions, which she blends with Son, Salsa, Cumbia or sounds from New Orleans and Spain. She is widely seen as an idol in Peru. Now she is the first black woman in her native country to assume a high-level government office. On 20 September 2011, her tour takes her to Haus der Kulturen der Welt where she will present her latest album, “Afrodiaspora”.
