GLOBAL VOICES — WOMEN IN JAZZ AROUND THE WORLD: CLASS TWO - Postponed

The international tapestry of female jazz performers is a testament to the legacy of America's truly universal art form. In this series, we highlight extraordinary artists who have embraced and adopted jazz as a vehicle to frame their distinct cultural expressions. From the deep grooves of Angélique Kidjo (Benin) and Oumou Sangaré (Mali), to the fire-power of Hiromi (Japan), the blazing tenor saxophone of Melissa Aldana (Chile), and the cadre of Cuba's genre-defying percussionists, we celebrate some of the powerhouse women carving their niche in the jazz and world music landscape.
