The Athenian-Brazilian (GA) DUO GREGO presents its version of a classic of the genre of Choro: "Gaucho Corta-Jaca", by the genius composer Chiquinha Gonzaga (1847-1945). Chiquinha Gonzaga was a strong representative of the feminist movement in both Imperial and Early Republic periods in Brazil, and stands as one of the pioneers of the genre of Choro.
