Afro-Peruvian Classics: The Soul Of Black Peru
Various Artists
Released:
Mar 1995
Label:
Luaka Bop
This wonderful compilation introduced the world to Susana Baca and her addictive version of "Maria Lando," a devastating song about prostitution. But there's lots more to love on this release which profiles the wonderful, little-known world of Afro-Peruvian music, including the marvelous "Yo No Soy Jaqui," which sounds like Cuban son played backwards.
