Biography

Maria Eduarda, known artistically as Duda Gaiteira, is a talented Brazilian musician who stands out for her skill with the button accordion. Born in Lages, Santa Catarina, Duda Gaiteira began her musical learning at 9 years of age, at the suggestion of her father, joining the "Fábrica de Gaiteiros", a musical project created by the renowned musician Renato Borghetti. This initiative, implemented in Lages, was fundamental for the development of her talent and passion for gaúcha music.

Duda Gaiteira has built an expressive instrumental repertoire capable of sustaining shows of approximately 100 minutes. Her performance frequently includes regional music classics, demonstrating not only her mastery of the button accordion, but also a deep appreciation for gaúcha culture. In addition to her solo career, she is also a member of the Invernada Artística at CTG Barbicacho Colorado, reinforcing her bond with the traditions of southern Brazil.

Her work has been recognized at events and performances, such as the one preceding Cristiano Quevedo's show, where Duda Gaiteira demonstrated the quality of her work and the practical result of the "Fábrica de Gaiteiros" project. She is an example of the new generation of artists who keep the rich tradition of gaúcha instrumental music alive, with performances that captivate audiences through technique and emotion.
