Susanna Baca - Espiritu Vivo
Baca fits in the forefront of world-music divas with Cape Verde’s Cesaria Evora and Brazil’s Virginia Rodriguez. But where Evora evokes an aching sadness and Rodrigues projects spiritual tranquility, Peru’s Baca conjures up a dreamy mysticism laced with elements of both. Steeped in Afro-Peruvian rhythms, sensuous songs like “La Noche y el Dia” have a power that belies their gentle delivery. And when Baca sings Bjork’s “Anchor Song” in Spanish, the effect is truly otherworldly.
