On Tuesday March 19, Nuestra Música will present the second of three shows dedicated to International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. This time we will be presenting Entre Mujeres / Between Women, a “trans-local” music composition project between Chicanas/Latinas in the U.S. and Jarochas/Mexican musicians in Mexico. Quoting the creators of this project: “A song as a sonic and literary manifestation is life’s sound-scape. A unique cathartic memento, as well as a powerful political tool. Without question a song is also an important historical text, a testimony of life views, triumphs, and struggles. Entre Mujeres project is a testament to the kind of collective knowledge generated across U.S. Mexican Borders.”

Tune in at WGXC 90.7-FM and online at wavefarm.org/listen from 11 a.m. until 12p.m.
