Brazilian women guitarists in the jazz age

As a progressive city, Rio de Janeiro attracted the attention
of intellectuals and artists, making it a receptive space for
the changes demanded by modern society.
The capital hosted the music industry, radio, and cinema,
and began to dictate the behavior, values, and lifestyle
that changed the nation’s cultural awareness.

That is how, at the end of the 1920s, a novelty from the carioca guitar scene echoed in the main Brazilian cities:
young ladies from society dedicated themselves to the
guitar, publicly performing a folksong repertoire.
