I cannot protest against the word "eclectic" to describe my taste... It fit well what anyone could think about my choices, motivated not by style or specific culture but by what i perceived as genius in music... My second female choice is Marian Anderson...

But if you want to hear the human soul, it takes the pygmies chorus to locate it exactly at the center of the earth... nothing moves us so deep out of history in the eternal femine of Mother Earth : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSpR-dIiQxw&list=PL6hoM1XotAS7ME-PAVuiZWceHCakb3tzF But what about the way drums can speak and sing from the cosmos, neither male nor female : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYXahxuxLDY
