Susana Baca is one of the outstanding figures in Afro-Peruvian culture. This former Minister of Culture was President of the Organization of American States’ Inter-American Council, has won three Latin Grammys, and has toured the world with her wonderful voice. The outstanding writer and journalist Jeremías Gamboa has just published the biographical book, Susana Baca, which tells the story of the extraordinary life of this singer for a young readership. Baca, the book’s subject, and Gamboa, the narrator, will talk about Baca’s life and how her experiences, expressed through an inspirational story, might motivate young readers to follow their dreams.
