The musical portion includes a broad range of styles that takes in folk songs, spirituals, poetry, and Women's Music. The unifying thread is an orientation toward liberal politics, particularly on an international level. Sweet Honey in the Rock's medley travels from Chile to South Africa in its condemnation of government oppression and apartheid, while Alexis Deveaux's poem \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eEveryone Is Nicaragua\u003c\/span\u003e celebrates a country struggling against efforts by the U.S. to topple its government. The international flavor is extended through songs actually sung in languages other than English: Amparo Ochoa's \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eMujer\u003c\/span\u003e in Spanish and Ronnie Gilbert's \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eGhannu Ma'i\u003c\/span\u003e in Lebanese.
