“Ms. Baca, with her cool, distinct voice, as beautiful as any working in pop, has the strength to create her own tradition.” -NY Times

“Baca captures history, even as she transcends it.” -Rolling Stone

“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

“Baca’s smoky, ethereal voice has an ageless dignity, a rare authority.” -Chicago Tribune
