FemAcoustica
FemAcoustica is a radio program on Plains FM 96.9 dedicated to promoting awareness, developing community, accessibility and connection for and with women in acoustic music. The emphasis is on New Zealand artists (though not exclusively) and is sponsored by Creative Communities Chch.
The host of FemAcoustica is Lynette Diaz, an American-born, Christchurch-based Singer-Songwriter. Lynette released her debut CD, ‘Lyrics In My Head’ in late-2008. In 2009, her songwriting skills have garnered several songwriting honourable mentions in international competitions. Lynette actively performs in both New Zealand and the United States.
Besides her own music, she is also active in promoting other New Zealand female acoustic artists through the New Zealand Women's Acoustic Collective, which she founded in 2008 . The NZWAC celebrates a sense of community and collaboration amongst member female artists. FemAcoustica is a natural progression of the NZWAC mission.
