Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

One of my favorite female singer in one of my best album  of songs...

«Persian Love Songs & Mystic Chants" is a collection of traditional Persian music, primarily featuring the vocals of Shusha Guppy. The album, released in 1973, includes songs that blend romantic themes with mystical and spiritual elements. This video presents a collection of traditional Iranian folk music, which is related to the topic of Persian love songs and mystic chants:

it is worth reading the wiki entry about her :

 The clear and pure voice catch something very grounded in the earth but very spiritual in Farsi a language i recognized as one in my past life so to speak.

The feminine embodied a part of the soul in each one of us, because as the farther past which is always "an ever present origin" , the farther future prepare us  making a balance between the feminine and masculine polarities in us, for the need of the present era.

History spoke with a voice which cannot be muted...

Idk if I would peg Mary Coughlan as a jazz singer, or even that jazzy really. She kind of reminds me of a category that would encompass Mary Black, Kirsty McCall, Shawn Colvin, for example. Non-traditional singer-songwriters whose lyrics place them out of the mainstream but not into the jazz standards classifications; e.g. Julie London, Diana Krall, or Nina Simone. 

@mahgister - I’m always impressed by how eclectic your music taste is!

Btw, little miffed that the npr/pbs thread was removed so quickly.

OP  "...Where would you start the forum and what would you call it?..."

Honestly, I would not start a forum on the subject unless it was by invitation only. Only allow folks that were fairly well informed, thoughtful, and actually curious. Otherwise you get the crazies from both extremes and just becomes chaos. 

Is there a separate forum for those who have insider privileges? Or are you all allowed to talk about that.
