Tania Libertad, born in the small town of Zana in northern Peru, has amassed an amazingly diverse discography of three dozen albums that includes forays into the stylistic realms of salsa, nueva cancion (protest songs), Brazilian music, her trademark boleros and other genres. Despite this versatility, it is consistently the spirit of Peru's small but culturally vibrant Afro-Peruvian community that shapes her artistic life. Early in her career, Ms. Libertad recorded Lo Inolvidable de Chabuca Granda, a tribute to one of the great masters of the Afro-Peruvian style, and in 1990, she revisited the idiom with Africa en America - an exuberant survey of African-influenced music throughout the hemisphere. Ms. Libertad's performing career has taken her to all the great concert stages of the world, and her recent recordings and performances have refocused on Afro-Peruvian music, whose rhythms and traditions have infused much of her three decades-long performing and recording career.
