On Cue With… Gingger Shankar For ‘And She Could Be Next’ | Vehlinggo

A noteworthy series of songs emerged. It’s an album of voices of women who are accustomed to being silenced, each with her own story of discrimination and how they fought back. All with the goal of creating anthems to help women of color across the United States bring about change. – Vehlinggo

In the latest Lakeshore podcast episode, host Gene Priest takes us behind the scenes on the voting rights companion album, And She Could Be Next,  apparently produced during lockdown.  The album features artists such as Aloe Blacc, Sa-Roc, D*L*P, Tarriona ‘Tank’ Ball, Sarah Deaun, Sussan Deyhim, Saul Williams, Hyro The Hero, Ruby Ibarra, Daniel J. French, Composer Vivek Maddala, Sheila E., Dee MC, Shawnee Kish, and many more.  “Shankar began reaching out to friends to help create a companion album — woven with the docuseries score — as a tool to amplify voting organizations’ efforts as well as to just lift people’s spirits during this often heartbreaking year.”  Read the full story over at Vehlinggo.
