This 1995 triple set is a spectacularly panoramic collection of women vocalists from around the world. Over 30 nations are represented among the 41 selections, with tracks by fabulous artists such as Varttina, Tiddas, Djur Djura, Mercedes Sosa, Ulali, Marian Anderson, Aretha Franklin, Patsy Cline, Edith Piaf, Celia Cruz, Miriam Makeba, Cedella Marley-Booker, Elis Regina, and many more. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to UNIFEM (United Nations Development Fund for Women), whose mission is to support the efforts of women in the developing world to achieve their objective for economic and social development and for equality. We found many of our personal favorites here, as well as several we'd never heard of before -- and now will be on the lookout for. Very highly recommended!
