Her upbringing in a coastal town in the south of Lima, called Chorrillos, revolved around a core of musical celebrations where she would watch and join in with the adults who sang and danced. On Seis Poemas, Susana takes us deeper into her own poetic history, with the moving works of Latin American and Spanish poets like Pablo Neruda, Cesar Vallejo, Cesar Calvo, Mario Benedetti, and Federico Garcia Lorca, lovingly placing their lyrics in understated arrangements of guitar, flute, violin and cajon.It's been said before that Baca's voice is like a quiet storm, but it's worth repeating. Like all storms in their myriad manifestations, Baca's restrained tempest, transcends Chorrillos. It transcends her people's history, Peru, her personal story, and even language. On Seis Poemas Baca deftly melds the quotidian fabric of poetry and age-old songs passed down orally with a universal sound that enthralls the listener no matter where they're from
