As we get ready to celebrate Doechii this Saturday as our Woman of the Year, I bet you didn’t know we’ve been celebrating women around the world, and we’re telling you all about them with Billboard News. Our very own Hannah Karp was in Brazil to celebrate Ana Castela. Ana is a wave-making artist who is recognized as one of the disseminators of agronejo music in Brazil. And up north in Canada, we celebrated Charlotte Cardin. 

Charlotte Cardin:

This is such an incredible honor. This is something that I share with the important women in my life. I’m so proud of this. Merci de France du care. This is really, really, really special.
