According to Le Monde, Susana Baca has a «voice as gentle as it is graceful», and she dedicates herself to settings of Latin American poetry «with infinite tenderness». Indeed, the artist, an icon of Afro-Peruvian culture, champions the preservation and performance of her artistic heritage. Her latest album, «Palabras urgentes» (Urgent Words), celebrates the singer’s career, which now spans more than a quarter-century, and her work at the intersection of poetry and politics is always keen to enter into dialogues. On April 22, the Grand Auditorium of the Philharmonie offers a stage for such a dialogue.
