Susana Baca first gained international recognition through her recording of "Maria Land�," a song by her mentor, Chabuca Granda, in 1997. Here, she devotes a six-song EP to Granda, mixing three more Granda compositions, "El Bosque Armado (La Canoa)" (The Armed Forest [The Canoe]), "El Fusil del Poeta" (The Poet's Gun), and "Un Cuento Silencioso" (Silent Story), with three other songs in a similar folk-based style, including "Los Lagartos" (The Lizards), a poem by Federico Garc�a Lorca, set to music by Paco Ib��ez. Actually, all of the songs sound like poems set to music (as the title would suggest), with Baca sometimes packing quite a few words into the tunes. She makes up for the enjambment with her passion, however, and her few accompanists offer effective support while mostly staying out of the way.
