Abstract

This study focuses on the Latin American and Caribbean female artists and their presence in the field of music, primarily as vocal or instrumental performers and composers. Two concepts are highlighted in reflecting the artistic participation of women: Representation as a model of physical beauty, and active representation in their role as acting subjects at creating and reproducing the surrounding reality, including their own social issues. It is explained how the alumni of music training institutions, integrate musical groups, including the ones entirely composed of female staff. The research is based on a comparative, historical and musicological analytical methodology. It concludes that Latin America and the Caribbean stands at the forefront of this evolution; where deepening socio-political processes strengthens the involvement of women in the fields of music: Performance, composition, research and teaching.
