From the Sky of My Childhood

Suni Paz
From the Sky of My Childhood

Suni Paz, whose name means “everlasting” (suni) in Quechua and “peace” (paz) in Spanish, plays and sings a collection of traditional and original Latin American folk songs. A poet, singer, composer, educator, and social activist, Paz creates music with a conscience based on her commitment to social justice and passion for education. In her third recording for Folkways, Paz sings of love lost (“Casi-Casi”), found (“Por Signos”), and unrequited (“Pollerita Colorada”); of the Mexican mythical legend “Llorona”; and of the poor children in the streets (“Cancion por un Nino en la Calle”). Complete Spanish lyrics and English translations for all tracks are included in the liner notes.
