Baca came to world attention in 1995, when her rendition of Maria Lando, a heartbreaking ballad of Third World worker oppression, was included on David Byrnes The Soul of Black Peru compilation. Since the Byrne compilation, she has toured the United States several times and released several albums, including an eponymously titled solo album on Byrnes Luaka Bop label and a disc, Del Fuego y del Agua, for Tonga Productions, 2002s Espíritu Vivo, and 2006s Travesías. Baca is particularly interested in reinterpreting old Afro-Peruvian melodies. At her best, Baca conveys an unforgettable, haunting melancholy, the lament of a people separated from its homeland by a continent and an ocean. Baca was born in the black coastal barrio of Chorrillos, outside Lima, where descendants of slaves have lived since the days of the Spanish empire. Her family was interested in music; her father played the guitar, while her mother was a dancer, and she grew up listening to Cuban musicians like Pérez Prado and Beny Moré. Bacas singing first came to public attention when she was a student. She formed an experimental group combining poetry and song, and started performing after receiving grants from Perus Institute of Modern Art and the National Institute of Peruvian Culture. She attracted the attention of the composer and singer Chabuca Granda, who became her mentor. Granda encouraged Baca to record, but a 1983 record deal fell apart upon Grandas death. Baca then turned her attention to researching the Afro-Peruvian tradition. With her husband she founded the Instituto Negrocontinuo (Black Continuum) in Lima, which is dedicated to preserving Afro-Peruvian culture. 荣誉记录：2001年，她凭借专辑《Canto》获得格莱美奖“最佳传统热带拉丁专辑”提名。[ 7 ] 2002年，苏珊娜·巴卡凭借专辑《Lamento Negro》获得拉丁格莱美最佳民谣专辑奖。 2011 年 11 月，她凭借与城市乐队Calle 13合作的歌曲“ Latinoamérica ”获得了她职业生涯中的第二个拉丁格莱美奖。 她的 2020 年专辑《A Capella》获得了第 21 届拉丁格莱美奖最佳民谣专辑提名。
