I am enamoured with Laura Canoura, Uruguayan composer, and her song, “Al Sur de Tu Corazón.”

I am inspired by Lilián Saba, Argentinian composer, and her “El Cielo de Benito” for piano and chamber orchestra.

My breath was taken away by Hinewehi Mohi, Māori composer, and her song, “Hineraukatauri,” composed in collaboration with Jaz Coleman.

I am inspired by Maisey Rika, Māori and Samoan composer, and her song, “Tangaroa Whakamautai.”

I am enchanted by Leila Adu, Ghanian composer from New Zealand and Britain, and her “Rain as Blessings Fall” for orchestra and voice.

I am drawn to Kathryn Bostic, Black film score and Broadway composer, and her soundtrack, “Wrong Turn,” for mystery / thriller.

Today, I am empowered by Buffy Sainte-Marie, Indigenous Canadian-American and Oscar-winning composer, and her “You Got to Run (Spirit of The Wind).”
