Miriam Makeba (speaking of MM)
Cheikha Rimitti
and ditto to Gorney's suggestion of anything on R. Crumb's "Hot Women":  every
track on it is like "first woman in X-country to sing on wax."

Hi, all,

Who is your favorite woman who is more of a historical figure in
world music?  I'm doing a show related to this next month, and just
wondering.

I personally would consider Miriam Makeba in this category....

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
