The Outlook Podcast Archive - Peru's first Grammy winner

Susana Baca is one of Peru's best loved singers. She went into teaching, but always loved to sing. It wasn't until Susana was in her fifties that her extraordinary talent was discovered by David Byrne, the lead singer of the American group Talking Heads. Since then she has been taking her style of Afro-Peruvian music around the world and in 2002 she won a Latin American Grammy. (Picture credit: Jane Chambers.)
