Tuca (musician)
Tuca (born Valeniza Zagni da Silva, 17 October 1944 - 8 May 1978) was a Brazilian guitarist, songwriter, and singer.

Indigenous communities reserved women in music, music for women, who were given equal opportunities with men to teach, perform, sing, and dance. Ethnomusicologists have measured ceramic, animal-bone, and cane flutes from the Inca Empire which indicate a preference for women with a high vocal range. Women had equal social status, were trained, and received the same opportunities in music as men in indigenous communities until the arrival of Columbus in the late 15th century. European settlers brought patriarchal, machismo ideologies to the continent, re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
