Women of the World is an award-winning international a cappella quartet that performs original and
traditional folk music with a contemporary twist, in 29
languages. The four singers represent Japan, Italy,
India, and USA (by way of Haiti). Despite differences
in their upbringing, language, religion, ethnicity, food,
and music, they are bound by one unique desire: to
explore sounds, rhythms, and musical vocabulary
from all over the world.
Since 2008, Women of the World has journeyed
through the music of Africa, South America, Asia
and Europe, presenting audiences an exhilarating
experience through chants, story telling, dance,
mouth percussion, and improvisation.
Mentored by Grammy-award winning maestro,
Bobby McFerrin, Women of the World have also
collaborated with powerhouse American songstress Nona Hendryx, African vocal icon Angelique
Kidjo, Greek classical artist Mario Frangoulis, and the Boston Pops
Orchestra led by maestro conductor Keith Lockhart.
“BEAUTIFUL. SPIRITED. LOVING ...
WONDERFUL!”
- BOBBY McFERRIN, GRAMMY-WINNING VOCALIST
Their many accolades include winning the title of 2014
National USA Champions of Harmony Sweepstakes,
the longest running a cappella competition in the country.
Women of the World was also nominated for the Boston Music Awards
and Independent Music Awards in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
Women of the World creates music that is borderless and spirited.
Music that carries the undeniable message of unity and peace.
