A French lady who has impressed me recently is Emmanuelle Parrenin. In 1977 she made an exquisite album of French folk music called Maison Rose , then waited about 30 years before making a comeback with material that earns her a place in this thread:-

That's some cool stuff.
Really like the instruments in the Hawk & Hacksaw vid.
Although I do wish the music had some nice dissonant parts.
Also put Madame Parrenin on my list of albums to check out.

This might be too electric for this thread, but I'm having another phase of Auktyon worship those last few weeks and am eager to share.
