Susana Baca\/Calexico\u00a0 –\u00a0 New Haven Green\u00a0 –\u00a0 June 16, 2013<\/p>\n

Although she was not the headliner, Baca (Peru’s Minister of Culture!) was the primary draw for me.\u00a0 Her music is not of the Peruvian Andes; it is of the African diaspora.\u00a0\u00a0 To me her remarkable voice is a channeling of spirit, otherworldly.\u00a0 Hugo Bravo, depicted playing cajon, had a range of percussive instruments including the “quijada” (jawbone of a donkey).\u00a0 So far, I am unable to identify the violin player.\u00a0 Headliners Calexico were certainly no slouches, with a southwestern orientation that included at times a two-trumpet mariachi vibe.\u00a0 They were joined onstage for a few numbers by some members of Baca’s backup band.\u00a0 What a full sound!\u00a0 Front man Joey Burns took a liking to my work – due to his praise I have included the only-partly-formed sketch of Baca bass player Oscar Huaranga.\u00a0 Burns was helpful in taking my sketchbook around to get autographs from all the Calexico members, otherwise unavailable to me backstage.<\/p>\n
