Seis Poemas by Susana Baca on CD
Susana Baca first gained international recognition through her recording of "Maria Lando," a song by her mentor, Chabuca Granda, in 1997. Here, she devotes a six-song EP to Granda, mixing three more Granda compositions, "El Bosque Armado (La Canoa)" (The Armed Forest [The Canoe]), "El Fusil del Poeta" (The Poet's Gun), and "Un Cuento Silencioso" (Silent Story), with three other songs in a similar folk-based style, including "Los Lagartos" (The Lizards), a poem by Federico Garcia Lorca, set to music by Paco Ibanez. Actually, all of the songs sound like poems set to music (as the title would suggest), with Baca sometimes packing quite a few words into the tunes. She makes up for the enjambment with her passion, however, and her few accompanists offer effective support while mostly staying out of the way. (Apparently, the album package was printed before the track selections were finalized, because the fourth song, shown complete with an English translation of the lyrics, is said to be "Harawi." In fact, the fourth track is "Venadito de los Montes" [Mountain Deer], with words by Mario Florian and music by Juan Luis Pereyra Del Mar, who accompanies Baca on charango and mandolin.) ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
