4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting, Simple, August 3, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Susana Baca (Audio CD)
One of the best CDs I've bought in a long time. The grace and sophistication of Baca's voice are allowed to shine on this one. Many of her recordings have been marked by over-production or color-by-number arrangements that blunted the beauty of her voice. Not this one. Baca's voice is sexy, even more so because of the restraint she shows. Where most vocalists would cut loose with vocal aerobatics Baca teases you with simple and deliberate control. The band is clean, imaginitive and simple. Top quality arrangements don't allow the band to hide. Lesser musicians would have fallen flat. These guys offer shifts and solos that are so clean they cause you to grin.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best CDs of the Year!, July 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Susana Baca (Audio CD)
I stumbled upon this CD while shopping at one of the major music stores in NYC. It was being played over the PA system. The music stopped me dead in my tracks! I ran and bought it on the spot. This should be listed as one of the best CDs of the year. All beautifully sung melodies by Ms. Baca harks back to a place and time when black Peruvian slaves and their descendants sang about their joys, hopes and desires to each other. Every song on ths CD will either move you to tears or make you dance the "lando." If you love afro-latino based musical traditions (salsa, samba, afro-cuban jazz, merengue, plenea or yoruban-type music) then I suggest that you make this a MUST in your CD collection! You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome; her best work, February 1, 2003
By 
S (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Susana Baca (Audio CD)
This is, in my opinion, Susana Baca's best work, and one of my favorite recordings PERIOD. It is her best both compositionally and vocally, as well as the quality of the arrangements and the percussion section and the passion of the music. This recording has also quickly become a classic of afroperuvian music, with stunning traditional percussion backing up hauntingly beautiful melodies. You will not be disappointed.
