Kathy and Cathy check out the contribution of women to African music, focusing on female vocalists as there are very few instrumentalists. Featuring music by Soulja Fyah, Christy Azuma & Uppers International, Dimi Mint Abba, Oum Kalthoum, Lilia Vera, Celia Cruz, Oumou Sangare, Rokia Traore, Miriam Makeba and the Skylarks, Umalali, and Orchestra Ethiopia. A diversity of styles and countries are covered, from Wassulu in Mali to jazz from South Africa. An interesting fact that we forgot to mention in the show: in Wassulu music (here represented by Oumou Sangare), only women are singers.
