History
Chiquinha Gonzaga is said to have made it up at the piano during a choro gathering in 1877, and it became her first hit. It made her name but also drew heavy criticism from the male dominated society of the day. She played in flutist Joaquim Callado's choro group, the first woman to do so, and went on to become Brazil's first woman conductor.
