María Luisa Anido was a pioneering Argentine classical guitarist and composer, celebrated for her expressive playing and deep contributions to the guitar repertoire. Born in 1907, she was a student of Miguel Llobet and became one of the few prominent female figures in the classical guitar world during the 20th century. Known as the “Grande Dame of the Guitar,” Anido’s style combined technical precision with emotional richness, and she drew heavily from Argentine folk traditions in her compositions.
Her works, including charming miniatures and lyrical pieces like “Aire de Vidalita” and “El Misachico,” reflect her cultural roots and love for the guitar. She performed internationally throughout her career and left behind a lasting legacy both as a performer and composer. Anido's recordings and compositions continue to inspire guitarists around the world, and her influence is celebrated in tribute albums and competitions bearing her name.
