TICKET GIVEAWAY TONIGHT FOR SUSANA BACA!

We have tickets for this show on offer:

Susana Baca, Friday March 17th at 8 pm in a World Music Institute Concert at Pioneer Works, 159 Pioneer Street, Red Hook, Brooklyn.

To get in the running for a pair of tickets to this show: Email me, Rob W, here, and please put the word "TIX" in the subject line.

Susana Baca is a singer-songwriter, ethnomusicologist, folklorist, teacher, and winner of two Latin Grammy Awards. With a splendid voice and equally impressive interpretive gifts, Susana Baca is a primary exponent of the Afro-Peruvian musical tradition. Baca was an important figure in the revival of Afro- Peruvian music which, like the culture that provided it, had previously been little recognized, but is now regarded as an important part of Peruvian culture. Baca contributed greatly to its international popularity when, in her later years, she came to worldwide attention in 1995, with her rendition of “Maria Lando,” a heartbreaking ballad of Third World worker oppression. It was included on David Byrne’s The Soul of Black Peru compilation that was released on the Luaka Bop record label. Since then, she has toured the United States several times and released numerous albums. With her husband, she founded the Instituto Negrocontinuo (Black Continuum) in Lima, which is dedicated to preserving Afro-Peruvian culture.

To get in the running for a pair of tickets to this show: Email me, Rob W, here, and please put the word "TIX" in the subject line. The deadline to enter is Sunday night at midnight. Winners will be notified on Monday.
