Women of Africa is a soulful and inspirational music by many of Africa's greatest female artists.

Women have always played an essential role in the preservation of African culture. From lullabies sung to sleepy children to chants of celebration, women are important bearers of tradition.

Unlike some areas in the world where females are discouraged from taking part in public musical performance, in sub-Saharan Africa, music is an essential social activity for all members of the community.

Artists included are Judith Sephuma (South Africa),
Angelique Kidjo (Benin),
Maria de Barros (Cape Verde),
Sibongile Khumalo (South Africa),
Tarika (Madagascar),
Kaissa (Cameroon),
Dorothy Masuka (Zimbabwe/South Africa),
Nawal (Comoros),
Dobet Gnahore (Ivory Coast),
Souad Massi (Algeria),
Khadja Nin (Burundi),
