The Women's Coffee House: A Program of Music & Poetry
Today on the Radiozine we feature a program from the Pacifica Archives called The Women's Coffee House: A Program of Music & Poetry, a live benefit for Pacifica Station WBAI Women's Programming in New York.
In this 1977 live performance, we'll hear from Alice Walker who at this point was still 5 years away from publishing her Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Color Purple, and Folkways recording artist Suni Paz a native of Argentina who, after a brief stay in Chile, relocated to California with her 2 children to escape the growing authoritarian governments of South America. Once in southern California she gravitated to the growing Chicano Movement linking the Mexican American communities with their pre-Columbian roots.
