Amazing arrangements, great piano. The lyrics of this song are rather sad and yet powerful in the delicate voice of the one and only Susana Baca: "They brought me as a slave, I worked for them. I breastfed their children, I took care of them. Whoever took my body, I imprisoned them giving birth children thus dyeing the whole town in black African blood.". I lend them my laughter, my fire, my rhythm, I celebrate myself black woman"

[@TriciaBinGSO]

Please, please, please translate this for me. My Spanish is rudimentary and it would take me days to figure it out. Plus, in some places I can't make out the exact words she's saying.

[@TriciaBinGSO]

Yes. "I lent them my life."

[@mariaparedes1646]

I feel so proud the afro pruvian music is in the world map with Susana Baca"s voice one of the sweetest peruvian voices .

[@joshjamesuk]

Bill Laurance is a Piano phenomenon. What a truly incredible musician he is!

[@JMorrDen]

I remember being there that night!!! Her spirit just radiates such a beautiful energy! And I loved listening to her!! As you can see, I was in the middle of the room with the black dress 😂😂😂

[@BrJD-ii4iv]

[@Yvovideo]

Susana no pude desprender más amor! imposible no sentir lo que canta, alegrarse y vivir con ella cada nota !

[@cesarlopezuribe]

los latinos amamos mucho a la raza negra y para nosotros decir negro es con amor y cariño.... esta canción es una canción de una esclavitud que aunque aun en este tiempo aun se da esperamos pronto se termine. muy buenos arreglos.

Thanks to Iggy Pop (BBC Radio6) for introducing me to Susana Baca. Superb.

[@dulcessonrisas6389]

Hermosa versión, Viva America Latina! Viva el Perú!❤️❤️

[@CrunchySopa]

I never knew who Susana Baca was by name. I recognized her from a Calle 13 video named Latinoamerica. Also a very beautiful song.
Now I can look her music up.

Lyrics:
Atravesando la historia, la memoria
Del África es de esta tierra, mujer negra
Me trajeron como esclava, trabajaba
Di de mamar a sus hijos, los cuidaba
Ojos manso, risa clara
Piel morena, fuego y agua
Ojos manso, risa clara
Piel morena, fuego y agua
Quien quiso tomar mi cuerpo quedó preso
Parí, fui tiñiendo al pueblo color negro
Quien quiso tomar mi cuerpo quedó preso
Parí, fui tiñiendo al pueblo color negro
Les presto mi risa
Les presto mi fuego
Les presto mi ritmo
Me celebro
Les presto mi risa
Les presto mi fuego
Les presto mi ritmo
Me celebro
Yo te celebro, mi zamacueca
Te celebramos, mi moza amada
Yo me celebro, mujer negra
Yo te celebro, mi zamacueca
Te celebramos, mi moza amada

[@isadorazerbini1389]

Disculpa el atrevimiento, pero creo que donde pusiste moza amada es mozamala. Es uno de los nombres que recibe ésta danza en el Perú. Mozamala, Zamacueca, Zamaclueca, etc... varias acepciones tuvo. Danza prohibida por supuesto...

[@omphileneo]

What does 'morena' mean?

[@danielvelizotani9779]

@@omphileneo brunette or black woman, although 'morena' is used sometimes when you want to avoid using the word 'black', like when you say 'people of color' instead of 'black'.

[@omphileneo]

@@danielvelizotani9779 thanks for the response.
Insane, because in my mother tongue, seSotho/Southern Sotho (a language from the southern parts of Africa), 'morena' means king.

[@mon_roi_]

It's INSANE
Most of spanish speakers countries in America use "moreno/morena" to highlight a inherit traits of black people as well as to call them to avoid others denominations

[@noelalbertomiranda1869]

Es como una canción de cuna y ella es hermosa con mucha luz es calidad y que derroche de paz canta con mucho amor desde Venezuela esta música sí que alegra el corazón. CAFÉ TABACO CACAO y RON

[@ihazthots]

Think I just fell in love with this group all over again.

[@Franciscobasilidom]

Extraordinario, me alegra escuchar esta canción y ver a Susana en esta versión tan delicada y poderos

[@omnissiah1119]

Yes! At last, I bought the album a while ago and had thoroughly enjoyed it. I could not wait to see the video for it, sometimes the videos for a lot of Snarky Puppies arrangments are so much fun to watch, seeing faces light up and brim with glee is almost as entertaining as the song itself.

[@alfredotrujillomendoza4006]

Made in Peru . Awesome !

Letra / Lyrics (Zamacueca and Mozamala are afroperuvian rhythms)
Atravesando la historia, la memoria
Del África hasta esta tierra, mujer negra
Me trajeron como esclava, trabajaba
Di de mamar a sus hijos, los cuidaba
Ojos mansos, risa clara
Piel morena, fuego y agua
Ojos mansos, risa clara
Piel morena, fuego y agua
Quien quiso tomar mi cuerpo quedó preso
Parí, fui tiñendo al pueblo color negro
Quien quiso tomar mi cuerpo quedó preso
Ahi fui tiñendo al pueblo color negro
Les presto mi risa
Les presto mi fuego
Les presto mi ritmo
Me celebro

Yo me celebro, mujer negra
Yo te celebro, mi Zamacueca
Te celebramos, mi Mozamala
Through history, memory
From Africa to this land, black woman
I was brought in as a slave, I was working
I breastfed his children, I looked after them
Tame eyes, clear laughter
Brown skin, fire and water
Tame eyes, clear laughter
Brown skin, fire and water
Whoever wanted to take my body was imprisoned
I gave birth, I dyed the town black
Whoever wanted to take my body was imprisoned
There I dyed the town black
I lend you my laugh
I lend you my fire
I lend them my rhythm
I celebrate myself
I lend you my laugh
I lend you my fire
I lend them my rhythm
I celebrate myself
I celebrate you, my Zamacueca
We celebrate you, my Mozamala
I celebrate myself, black woman
I celebrate you, my Zamacueca
We celebrate you, my Mozamala

ENG TRANSLATION
Crossing the history, the memory
From Africa is from this land, black woman
I was brought as a slave, I worked
I breast-fed her children, I took care of them
Meek eyes, clear laughter
Brown skin, fire and water
Meek eyes, clear laughter
Brown skin, fire and water
Whoever wanted to take my body was imprisoned
I gave birth, I dyed the people black
Whoever wanted to take my body was imprisoned
I gave birth, I dyed the people black

I lend them my fire
I lend them my rhythm
I celebrate myself
I lend them my laughter
I lend them my fire
