Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo<\/h3>\n
by Amy Frishkey (Music Supervisor)<\/p>\n
Versatility and activism have driven award-winning Beninese musician Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo\u2019s career for over forty years.<\/p>\n
As a child, she listened closely to her brothers\u2019 band and their U.S. soul record collections. As a teenager, her father challenged her to write songs that build bridges and teach acceptance. Since arriving in France in her early twenties as a refugee, she has shined across genres, including jazz, western classical, R&B, Afropop, Latin salsa, and reggae. Kidjo\u2019s must-have album from last year, Mother Nature, finds her connecting to younger audiences through her collaborations with rising African talents like Burna Boy, Sampa the Great, and Zeynab.<\/p>\n
Female empowerment is an ongoing theme in Kidjo\u2019s work. Her exposure to activists like Winnie Mandela, musicians like Aretha Franklin and Miriam Makeba, and her mother\u2019s involvement in campaigns for the right to vote and against domestic violence made her a staunch feminist. In 2006, Kidjo started her own foundation, Batonga, to help girls in Africa get a secondary education. Her 2014 album, Eve, celebrates the beauty and strength of women in everyday life; around the same time, she joined an all-women supergroup of west African musicians known as Les Amazones d\u2019Afrique, formed to campaign for gender equality on their eventual album R\u00e9publique Amazone.<\/p>\n
Although I had long known of Kidjo and programmed her music for Mood offerings like African Rhythms and Destinations, her January 2016 performance on Austin City Limits and her candid interview with journalist Ann Powers at SXSW on June 29 of that year made me a diehard fan. Since then, I have looked to her as an example and guiding light.

Karen Carpenter<\/h3>\n
by Barry McPhillips (Head of Creative, International)<\/p>\n
Karen Carpenter was an American singer and drummer, who formed half of the sibling duo Carpenters alongside her older brother Richard. With a distinctive three-octave contralto range, she was praised by her peers for her vocal skills. Carpenter’s eventual death of heart failure related to her years-long struggle with anorexia would later raise awareness of eating disorders and body dysmorphia and their possible causes.<\/p>\n
During the 1970’s Karen was a pioneer for female empowerment, especially in the music industry. Karen’s parents had hoped that Karen’s brother, Richard’s musical talents would be recognised and that he would enter the music business. But they were not prepared for Karen’s success in which she turned out to become one of the world\u2019s most iconic artists.<\/p>\n
It is thought that Karen’s influence on other talented female singers led to the launch of careers of Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Pat Metheny, Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, Shania Twain, Natalie Imbruglia, and k.d. lang.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/-XYBj0J99i8″ image_src=”\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/-XYBj0J99i8\/hqdefault.jpg” admin_label=”Karen Carpenter” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text admin_label=”Favorite tracks” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#eeeeee” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Chavela Vargas<\/h3>\n
by Alex Espinosa (Senior Music Supervisor)<\/p>\n
Growing up in a Mexican household, I was raised listening to all types of Latin music ranging from Rancheras to Mariachi music. My mom would play her favorite music that always reminded her of her hometown in Mexico. An artist that always stood out to me as having an emotional impact on my mom was the music by Chavela Vargas. Isabel Vargas Lizano, who went by her pet name of Chavela, was born and raised in Costa Rica. She migrated to Mexico after her parents divorced to pursue a music career at the age of 17. There she slummed it playing her own music on the streets of Mexico City while wearing men’s pants and ponchos trying to blend in, in a male dominant industry. All the while, she befriended local artists and club promoters. Her music style of haunting renditions of rancheras with touches of Mariachi made her a household name throughout her adoptive country and admired by many. I always felt that my mom had a special connection to Chavela as she also migrated to another country when she was young. Chavela Vargas sadly passed away in 2013 at the age of 94 but her music has always and will forever live on.<\/p>\n

Ana\u00efs Mitchell<\/h3>\n
by Molly Chen (Music Researcher)<\/p>\n
Ana\u00efs Mitchell is an American folk singer\/songwriter\/ playwright who grew up believing that if you could write a song good enough, you could change the world. Raised on folk ballads and protest music, inspired by other bold female songwriters (Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos, Dar Williams), and fueled by political activism, Mitchell began writing her own songs early on and has since released 8 studio albums. <\/p>\n
Mitchell’s fourth full-length album, Hadestown, was a sociopolitically-charged retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Based in America during an economic depression, the folk opera incorporates themes of climate change and economic inequality, serving as a critique of capitalism and environmental exploitation. With the music, lyrics, and book written by Mitchell, the musical eventually opened on Broadway and went on to win 8 Tony Awards (incl. Best Musical and Best Original Score) of 14 nominations as well as a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. The musical also partnered with the Natural Resources Defense Council and has since has become the longest-running show at the Walter Kerr Theatre.<\/p>\n
Mitchell was recently named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People, and is also a member of Grammy-nominated folk supergroup Bonny Light Horseman. As a fan of her work in all its iterations, I’m amazed by Mitchell’s musical talent and of course, as a music fan overall, believe in and am inspired by the idea of using art as a way to fuel necessary change.<\/p>\n

Marin Aslop<\/h3>\n
by Erin Yousef (Manager, Music Supervision)<\/p>\n
World renowned conductor Marin Alsop made history as the first woman to head a major American symphony orchestra when she was appointed as music director of the Baltimore Symphony in 2005. <\/p>\n
After seeing Leonard Bernstein in concert for the first time, an inspired nine-year-old Alsop told her violin teacher that she wanted to be a conductor, too. Her teacher told her no, that girls cannot be conductors. But Bernstein eventually became her mentor, and despite the sexism and discrimination that persists in the field, Alsop now enjoys a history-making, illustrious career. She has worked with some of the world’s leading orchestras including the London Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestras, La Scala Orchestra, and Orchestre de Paris. She has served as music director for Brazil\u2019s S\u00e3o Paulo Symphony Orchestra, and she is currently the chief conductor of the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the chief conductor and curator of Chicago’s Ravinia Festival, where she curates and conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s summer residencies. <\/p>\n
Her remarkable career inspired the documentary film, The Conductor, and as a classically trained musician and a woman, it inspires me to see a woman reach such prominence in what remains a largely male-dominated area of the classical music world.

Myl\u00e8ne Farmer<\/h3>\n
by Rachel Jaques (Associate Music Supervisor)<\/p>\n
Myl\u00e8ne Farmer is a successful Canadian\/French singer and songwriter, whose career has spanned almost 40 years. She has sold over 30 million records in France alone and is one of the most successful artists of all time in the country. <\/p>\n
Since the beginning of her career, her songwriting has carried themes of female empowerment and inclusion. As a result she has been a powerful voice for many women as well as many in the LGBTQ community. Through her music and exquisite film-like music videos, Myl\u00e8ne champions women, and validates all shades of femininity; from calling for love for all women in her anthem ‘XXL’ to fighting for women in the music video for ‘California’, as well as portraying women as warriors and being her own savior in her music video for ‘F*** Them All’. Myl\u00e8ne is an artist who is unafraid to speak about sometimes difficult subject matters, and songs such as her 2018 release ‘D\u00e9sob\u00e9issance’ touts a reminder to disobey and stand unafraid to challenge ideas in order to make positive change.<\/p>\n
Throughout her career she has played with ideas surrounding gender, androgyny and challenged perceptions of what women are expected to be. Myl\u00e8ne has been a huge influence on me both musically and personally, and has always been the voice of empowerment and inspiration that I return to time and time again.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/VGywjHlupEM” image_src=”\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/VGywjHlupEM\/hqdefault.jpg” admin_label=”Myl\u00e8ne Farmer” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text admin_label=”Favorite tracks” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#eeeeee” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
