Rita Lee
She was a woman ahead of her time in favour of free speech, especially in the post-military dictatorship environment. Her songs touched upon taboos for the conservative society of the time, especially when they came from a woman’s perspective. Her feminist lyrics touched upon female sexuality and pleasure, menopause, and menstruation. Homages to national feminist icons such as Pagu. References to the repressed queer culture and homosexuality.

Liniker e os Caramelows
Led by Liniker Barros, an Afro transgender woman who in her presentations and through her voice, attitude and energy, creates spaces for historically excluded people and at the same time educates and falls in love through music and its universal language. Diversity is one of the riches of this group, because in addition to being a personal flag, it is present in their music by fusing various rhythms. All this together with his Caramelows: Péricles Zuanon (drums), Ragfael Barone (bass), William Zaharanszki (guitar), Eder França (sax and flute), Renata Éssis (vocals), Fernando TRZ (keyboards) and Marja Lenski (percussion) .
