VACACAIONES DE SANCHEZ

The first few days were a bit boring. More than anything we pulled the car to go everywhere,
since neither taxis nor trains worked well. My friends made me a little dizzy; that if we are
going to see such a colleague, that if we are going to see the other ... I met a lot of interesting
people, but we threw ourselves more than half the time on the road, glimpsing a city full of

possibilities that we never quite stepped on. From time to time we did very funny things. One
night I had to take home my drunk friends, the truth is that I laughed for a while. Another day
we visited the roof of a hotel in the city and had spectacular views, as well as having a great
time. The truth is that not everything was tedium, there were days that I will always
remember.

Biography

She was born on May 24, 1944 in the city of Lima, daughter of Ernesto Baca Ramírez and
Carmen de la Colina Gonzáles. Susana descends from one of the most illustrious families of
Afro-Peruvian music: the De la Colina, from San Luis de Cañete being first cousin of Ronaldo
Campos and Caitro Soto. She is responsible, together with her husband and representative
sociologist Ricardo Pereira, for the recovery of almost forgotten harmonies and rhythms of
Afro-Peruvian music.

memories as she herself indicates in various interviews. From a very young age she was
surrounded by musicians; his father was a guitarist, his mother a dancer, his aunts sang and his
cousins were the creators of the group Peru Negro. They provided the necessary strength that
drove Susana to dedicate herself fully to music.

VACACIONES PILCO

My vacation has been a lot of fun!!! I've ridden horses, I've painted a thousand leaves, I've
gone to the pool. My parents have taken me to different places, I have eaten very rich meals
and I have met so many friends.

Everything has made me more agile, stronger and I go back to school eager to see my
classmates and tell them everything.

What a nice holiday I've had. I also went on a trip to visit my paternal grandparents and they
were so happy that they even cried with emotion. I had a very nice time meeting new uncles
and cousins, eating new things and seeing fantastic landscapes, my grandparents are from
Apurimac. I studied Karate and now I know how to defend myself, I also did swimming and I
don't swim very fast but I stay afloat.

I am very happy. My holidays were beautiful and the best thing is that I enjoyed them with my
family.
