Highly Rated

Recorded in New York just after the trauma of 9/11, Espíritu Vivo marries Susana Baca's wonderfully airy vocals and her usual Peruvian backing band with the downtown N.Y.C. sounds of John Medeski and guitarist Marc Ribot -- and it proves to be a wonderful union indeed.

<p>Susana Baca sings up a riot, Luke Slater buffs up electro, and Michelle Branch dreams up poems. Plus the rest of the new pop.</p>
