Grammy Award-winning Afro-Peruvian vocalist Susana Baca performs at Queen Elizabeth Hall for one night only. She plays tracks from her latest album 'Afrodiaspora', which explores the pervasive African influence on Latin American music and culture.

The music of 'Afrodiaspora' reflects Susana Baca's adventurous poetic spirit, offering a deeply expressive mix of African and Latin American influences, framed by the artist's distinct Afro-Peruvian perspective.

'Afrodiaspora' marks a landmark cultural narrative set within an upbeat and inspired musical landscape. An international star, Susana Baca preserves all that is close to her heart and offers an intimate look into the remarkable impact of African music on the world.

'A beautiful, continent-crossing soul journey... Susana Baca's new disc has been well worth the wait. It's infused with the natural grace that has always made her special... As always, Baca's approach is joyful yet cool and subtle.' ***** (Songlines on Afrodiaspora)

'Baca captures history, even as she transcends it.' (Rolling Stone)

'Ms Baca, with her cool, distinct voice, as beautiful as any working in pop, has the strength to create her own tradition.' (New York Times)

'The focus, as it should be, is on the Afro-Peruvian singer's stunning voice. She sings with an extraordinarily smooth tone, touched with an almost subliminal rasp, and phrases with such grace and precision you immediately know you're listening to a master.' (Salon.com)
