Women's legacy

Description

Sarah Lenka 'Women's Legacy', a tribute to the legacy of the songs of African American enslaved women "I was inspired by the songs of African American enslaved women, their song is a legacy, a feminine legacy, the history that resonates so strongly." - Sarah Lenka. Often, when we talk about the resistance of enslaved people, even when we think of slave songs, we generally refer to men only (work song). But what about the resistance of enslaved women and their voices? This is what has guided Sarah Lenka from the beginning to make this album. The suffering of women, the suffering they hide, the suffering they silence. Designated best female vocal artist of the year by Sacem in 2007, the first three albums of the singer ("Am I Blue" in 2008, "Hush" in 2012, "I Don't Dress Fine" in 2016) have been praised by critics and noticed by the public. Today, Sara Lenka is recognized for her unique timbre and her very personal interpretations that reveal to her an intimate and authentic universe.
