“So much of who we are, is where we have been” — William Langwiesche
We continue to circle the globe today as we look to the West, to music by women from Europe. These are relatively new releases, covering a fair range of geography . Not all of the music is new, but the performances certainly are. This is music from the women of England, Italy, Germany, and even Latvia and Bulgaria
