Our Native Daughters review - "devastating beauty from banjo supergroup"

"Four black female banjo players wrestling with gender, race, slavery, sexual assault and the domination of the male gaze might make an admirable-if-arduous prospect, but this new collaboration proves by turns a proud, devastating, authoritative album made for our bewildering times" - Guardian reviews Our Native Daughters' album 'Songs of Our Native Daughters'. "Rhiannon Giddens, Leyla McCalla, Allison Russell and Amythyst Kiah have joined forces to confront the abuse of African American women with authority and pride". Listen to one of their songs at YouTube.
