[FA Worldmusic] Historical Women in World Music

Wed Jun 4 00:50:23 ADT 2008

I don't know if the topic is now closed, but It seems the Historical  
Women in World Music, which is probably close to infinite,  wouldn't  
be complete without the following:

Roza Eskenazi
Lydia Mendoza (who Crumb killed off in his liner notes a good 10  
years before she actually died last year in San Antonio)
Chavela Vargas
Lola Beltran
Chabuca Granda (probably one of the greatest Latin American composer)
Fairuz
Frehel (my French bias)
Esma Redzepova
Reinette l'Oranaise

Olivier Conan
