As she was born near Lima in the black district of Chorillos, Susana Baca found herself at an early age at the crossroads of several cultures: the Andes, Africa and Spain. The combination of these influences has irremediably influenced her music, which mixes Spanish guitar, African rhythms and Andean instruments. Recognized in her country and around the world, Susana Baca has been singing and testifying for nearly 40 years to the importance of the popular culture of black peoples in South America. In 2011, her commitment enabled him to become the Minister of Culture of Peru.
