Dona Ivone Lara
Dona Ivone Lara (1922-2018) was a pioneering Brazilian samba composer and singer, celebrated as one of the most significant figures in the history of samba music. As the first woman to sign a samba-enredo for the Rio Carnival, she broke gender barriers in a male-dominated genre, paving the way for future generations of female artists. Her work encompassed themes of love, resilience, and the African diaspora, and her contributions have left an indelible mark on Brazilian culture. In recognition of her impact, she has been honored with numerous awards and continues to inspire artists and fans alike. The establishment of the National Day of the Woman Sambista on her birthday, April 13, highlights her legacy and the importance of women's roles in samba.
