Here we are at the threshold holy day of the Equinox. We are either returning to Spring or Fall, depending on where we are on the planet. Either way, it is always an energetically magically rich time that can feel full of shift and promise. So, this month I hope to bring you music that will stir your wonder and curiosity at the crossroads. Most all the artists are under represented or non-represented female voices. They range internationally from a traditional Ukrainian Slavic song about the Rusulka (the restless spirits of women who have died untimely or unjust deaths) to music from Inuit throat singers to female voices from Mali. Closer to home I’ve also included the voices of women survivors of domestic violence from a project Elizabeth York produced in the early 2000 in Utah with them at CAPSA. I hope you are intrigued, inspired and will seek out further music by these amazing women!
