- Genre: Classical
- Description: Musicologist and pianist, Samantha Ege, celebrates the work of trailblazing composer Florence Price on her highly romantic and expressive new album Fantasie Nègre The Piano Music Of Florence Price. Released on 5 March 2021, the physical coincides with the digital launch on International Women's Day (8 March 2021). The album includes the first full recording of all four Fantasie Ne`gre showpieces, following the rediscovery of Price's Fantasie Ne`gre No.3.

While there, she presented herself as Mexican as her black racial identity could preclude her success.
