"Tania Libertad de Souza Zúñiga (1952) known professionally as Tania Libertad, is a Peruvian-Mexican singer in the World Music genre. Libertad was named an Ambassador for Peace by UNESCO, Comendadora by the Peruvian government, a member of the Order of Rio Branco by the Brazilian government, among other honors. In 2009, she received the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement award for musical excellence. With more than 44 albums and sales of over 12 million copies, her work is widely known throughout the Americas, Europe and Africa." (Wikipedia) Het zingen van gepassioneerde boleros is één van specialiteiten. En dat laat ze horen op dit album. (GR Muziekbank)
"While Peruvian native Tania Libertad focuses on Afro-Peruvian music on this release, don't expect anything highly rhythmic, or even reminiscent of countrywoman Susana Baca. Instead she forges her own, often contemplative route, whether on the lovely "Dos Gardenias" or the sweet, gentle pop of "Anda Mareado." She's a singer who brings a mature delicacy to the project, even when her gaze strays from her homeland to Brazil for "Funeral del Labrador" or "Samba Malato/Kike Iturrizago," a laid-back trip along the Copacabana. Perhaps surprisingly, one of the most rhythmic pieces here is a traditional Peruvian piece, "La Bruja,". Moreover, this is a very seductive sound, and in spite of its possibly obscure focus, very accessible to non-Latin ears, as with the gentle ache of "Amaria" or "Fe." Far more than on her last release, Libertad shows herself to be a stunning, understated singer, with the experience to let a song float into the ear, rather than pushing it. Absolutely glorious." (Allmusic).
Had in Zuid-Amerika al heel veel succes met pop-albums. Met dit album komt een wens in vervulling: het maken van Afro-Peruvaanse rootsmuziek, mmv vele Afrikaanse topmusici, o.a. Regis Gizavo, Cesaria Evora, Senegalese percussionisten.
