Paquita Bernardo, (1900-1925), was the first female bandoneonist. Gifted musician, composer and director of her own orquesta, "Orquesta Paquita", in which a 16 y/o, teen-ager Osvaldo Pugliese was the pianist. Innovative and well ahead of her time. Unfortunately there are no records of her performances. She died before her 25th birthday.
This performance by the Universidad Nacional de San Martín Orchestra, extracted from the documentary "La Paquita" directed by Gladys Gazzero.
