My intention this year was to introduce the American audience to pioneer female Brazilian artists who have been inspiring new generations of poets, writers, songwriters, and politicians in Brazil and beyond. Incredible women from pianist/maestro Chiquinha Gonzaga, award-winning poets and actresses like Adelia Prado and Fernanda Montenegro, to rock queen Rita Lee, among others.
