"Femeninas" is a special program created by celebrated Venezuelan pianist-composer-arranger Edward Simon, who is joined by Reuben Rogers (bass), Adam Cruz (drums), Luis Quintero (percussion), and Grammy-nominated Mexican jazz vocalist Magos Herrera. Simon says, “This project spotlights the contributions of Latin American women songwriters, living and past, well-known and unknown, such as Violeta Parra (Chile), Marta Valdes (Cuba), Chabuca Granda (Peru), Elizabeth Morris (Argentina), and Joyce [Moreno] (Brazil). These incredible songwriters have created beautiful songs that should be internationally known.” Related links: Athenaeum Music & Arts Library website | Instagram | Facebook
