World Music: Susana Baca, "Valentin"
(Peru) Susana Baca is one of a handful of people who are promoting and preserving the culture of Black Peru. At the same time she is a remarkably flexible chanteuse whose voice and soul can negotiate a jazz setting with equal grace. This performance of "No Valentín" took place at Joe's Pub in New York City, and yes, that's David Byrne sitting behind her.
