DIVAS OF SOUTH AMERICA: SUSANA BACA, MEMORIA VIVA/MARIA BETHANIA, MUSIC IS PERFUME
Divas of South America:
Saturday, March 29 @ 4pm
SUSANA BACA, MEMORIA VIVA
Susana Baca is not only a champion in the performance and preservation of Afro-Peruvian heritage, but also an elegant singer whose shimmering voice sings of love, loss and life. Susana and her husband Ricardo Pereira have founded the Instituto Negrocontinuo "Black Continuum" in Lima, a spirited facility for the exploration, expression, and creation of Black Peruvian culture. While Baca has dedicated herself to researching and performing virtually all forms of Afro-Peruvian folklore, it is the lando that has become her trademark. This slow to mid-tempo, highly evocative mix of Spanish, Indigenous and African rhythms has become what the son is to Cuba, or the samba to Brazil--the lando is the sound of Black Peru.
Directed by Mark Dixon, 2003, 54 min, Peru/Belgium, musical documentary, Spanish with English subtitles
