In her performances and throughout her life, Suni Paz has deftly combined her message of cultural awareness and personal awakening with an unshakable optimism. As part of the progressive Latin American music movement known as nueva canción (new song), Suni has created music with a conscience out of her commitment to social justice and passion for education.

This award recognizes those who have made an outstanding lifetime contribution to children's music, and past winners include fellow Folkways recording artists Woody Guthrie and Ella Jenkins.
