Raye Zaragoza

By request from Indigenous Peoples' Day from Judy in the Central District! Raye Zaragoza is of Mexican and indigenous heritage, her great-grandmother was adopted out of her tribe as young child, raised by a white woman and forced to assimilate. Zaragoza named her 2020 album, "Woman in Color," because she saw it as "a coloring book, and every song was a like a little bit of me coloring in my story, of my past and my present and my future." "Being a woman of color in America and someone of mixed race, I’ve always felt like identity is something that weighs on me very heavily and something that I really wanted to write about in this record." rayezaragoza.bandcamp.com www.rayezaragoza.com
