To mark the occasion of the International Women’s Day, we present to you this playlist dedicated to the great (women) artists of the region. From rap to folkloric music, the songs on this playlist are fuelled by rage on the current situation, but also inspired by the chants of our mothers.

Let us know your thoughts.
