Raye Zaragoza

Raye Zaragoza is an award-winning singer-songwriter whom NPR Music has called “one of the most fresh and compelling voices in folk music today." First-generation Japanese-American on her mother’s side, indigenous American on her father’s side and raised in New York City, Raye delivers powerful missives about embracing one’s own identity and discovering the power behind it, all across brisk, emotive, compelling folk melodies. Her sophomore album, Woman In Color offers an intimate exploration of coming into her own, in a country where for many, simply existing is political.
