Continuing its tradition of bringing the best Peruvian artist to Queens, QTP is proud to present Grammy Award-winning singer Susana Baca, performing selections from her intimate and deeply personal new CD, Seis Poemas. With a voice that has been called "the quiet storm," Baca pays tribute to Chabuca Granda, one of the great figures of Latin American song, and Federico Garcia Lorca, one of Spain’s most influential writers. A key figure in the revival of Afro-Peruvian music, Baca also explores the rich sounds of her African heritage. Baca’s earlier interpretations of Granda’s songs, which reflect the simple beauties of Peruvian life and culture, catapulted her to international acclaim. NPR hailed Susana Baca as "one of the great voices of modern Peru!"
