Susana Baca, the Grammy-winning Peruvian folksinger, was recently profiled by Tracy Wilkinson in the Los Angeles Times.
The 67 year-old artist is currently visiting the town of Santa Barbara in northern Peru, where her mother grew up, and which, as Wilkinson states, “is the cradle of its multi-ethnic history, where the descendants of black slaves and Chinese and Japanese field hands have lived together for generations, intermarried and even now continue to work the land.”
Baca’s wants to redress the racism in Peruvian culture, which she feels has habitually diminished the value of Peruvians who were descended from African slaves. "Official history is white," states her husband, Ricardo Pereira, a sociologist."The idea is to make visible a hidden history.”
