Exquisite.

Group: Croatian Folk Ensemble Lado.
Album: Raspelo.

From Tamburaland -- "promoting flat singing and broken english."

Compare the experience of the women of "Lado" in Croatia (free artistic expression, independence, commercial opportunity) to the experience of Ms. Naze Ezizi, poet and musician, in Iran. (Hint: a woman's voice belongs to her husband.)

Punishment for women singers/poets (choose as many as you want):

  1. stoning.
  2. honor killing.
  3. fining.
  4. rousting by cops.
  5. banishment from being published in any paper.
From Clarity & Resolve, a greaaaat site.
