Coordinated by professor and researcher at the School of Music of UFRJ Samuel Mello Araujo Junior, the study "Role of women in music: reproduction of male dominance or disruption to achieve equality?" was developed by young residents of the Tide in the slums of New Holland and the Low Shoemaker and sought to analyze the role of women in bands of forró, pagode and funk - the products with the greatest concentration of groups in these communities. According to Samuel Araujo, the study found that in these musical groups, women develop their own language, not limited only to copy the influences of the male universe.
