[FA Worldmusic] Your question about Historical Women in World Music

Thu Jun 5 00:55:44 ADT 2008

My Top 5 in time listened would probably be something like:

Parisa (sometimes spelled Parissa, who I am glad someone else

Oum Kalthoum

Lata Mangeshkar

hmmmm... maybe June Tabor

hard to narrow down to five!!
