Queen Latifah becomes the first female rapper with a recording in the registry with the inclusion of her 1989 album All Hail the Queen, whose songs include the feminist anthem Ladies First. In all, 25 albums, singles and other sound artefacts spanning more than a century are being inducted into the registry, from the first known recording of mariachi music in 19 by Cuarteto Coculense, to 2012’s Concerto for Clarinet and Chamber Orchestra by the composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich.
