How about Occitan? They had female troubadours in Occitania called trobairitz and there are many compilations on YT for you to dig through.

Can’t go wrong with Lisa Hannigan.
It starts slow, but builds into a nice crescendo.

It is, and Dead Cities is even better

It's really uneven to me. Some good/decent/filler tracks. It needed to be paired down with better mixing. My opinion only

I bought it because of Midnight City when it came out and gave it several listens, but none of the other tracks really stuck with me. I guess it's time for a revisit.

Reply to Music lovers I need some help for black history month. by DonutOwlGaming
Marian Anderson- My Country, Tis of Thee
1st Black artist to perform on the National Mall. The story behind her performance makes for a great history lesson
Ella Fitzgerald (with the Duke Ellington Band)-Take the “A” Train
1st Black artist to win a Grammy.
Otis Redding- (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction performed at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.
Discuss how white rock bands would frequently cover and popularize songs by black artists. Otis blew away the other musicians and almost entirely white audience at the festival by performing some covers of rock songs.
Stevie Wonder- Higher Ground
In 1964 he became the 1st Black artist to win Grammy for Album of the year.
Sugar Hill Gang- Rapper’s Delight
In 1979 their song became the first rap hit.
