Our new ALBUM OF THE WEEK is...Indígena by Tânia Leon
Happy listening!
About the album:
Once you stop to consider Tania León's dizzying multi- ethnic background, it’s easy to understand why she dislikes the American penchant for neat, simple categorizations. Born in Havana in 1943, she is of mixed French, Spanish, Chinese, African, and Cuban heritage. “My ancestors came from different parts of the world; they came from different cultures,” she says. “I take pride in the heritage each of them passed on to me, and I represent all of them within myself. I prefer to be an inclusive human being.”
