Suni Paz - Brotando del Silencio: Breaking out of the Silence (1973)

Inspired by the will to struggle and cultural integrity of Latin American women, Argentinian singer-songwriter, educator, and activist Suni Paz creates music that instills a collective consciousness among her listeners. Paz's first album, Brotando del Silencio: Breaking Out of the Silence, incorporates instruments such as the charanga, the bombo, and the güiro, and showcases her profound lyrics. These lyrics reveal the triple oppression suffered by Women of La Raza—that of racism, imperialism, and sexism—and encourage the revolutionary Latina to feel empowered by her cultural identity.
“With the consciousness of our culture, working together,” Paz writes in the liner notes, “we can share the power and the relentless action of this sea…To break the silence, to find strength and unity, we must see ourselves in a continental, and international context. This is how we will come to understand who are the real enemies of humanity, and how to defeat them.”
