Este blog tem toda uma coluna dedicada às grandes musas da música, históricas e/ou atuais. Mas, como o tradicional 08 de março se aproxima, há tempos ensaiamos um post louvando alguns destaques.
Como são muitas, separaremos algumas de nossas favoritas por período, sendo que iniciaremos por algumas figuras femininas que estavam lá, na vanguarda do rock, do jazz e da música em geral, pensando dos anos 70 para trás.

| Carla Bley |
Não é segredo o machismo imperante na cena musical e veremos, conforme avançamos ao menos 5 décadas, o quanto as mulheres em destaque aumentam, com mais visibilidade e oportunidades - por mais que o âmibito (e o mundo) siga opressor e sem iguais oportunidades.
Algumas hors concours por aqui podem parecer até de covardia: Alice Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Dorothy Ashby, Linda Sharrock, Mary Lou Williams, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Toshiko Akiyoshi.
Num pop/rock e no folk mais 'contemporâneos', igualmente, nomes como Carole King, Grace Jones, Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Nico, Patti Smith, Stevie Nicks, ABBA, Yoko Ono...

| Linda Sharrock |
Dentre outras de nossas favoritas, não escondemos nossa devoção a nomes como Akiko Yano, Amina CLaudine Myers, Annette Peacock, Betty Davis, Bobbi Humphrey, Carla Bley, Debbie Harry, Gal Costa, Genesis P-Orridge, Jocy De Oliveira, Kate Bush, Linda Tillery, Lora Logic, Maki Asakawa, Pauline Oliveros, Ivy Rorschach, Poly Styrene, Wendy Carlos, Yoko Ono, Kali Fasteau, dentre tantas...
