Josefina Robledo Gallego (Valencia, 10 May 1897 – Godella, 25 May 1972) was a Spanish guitarist who performed extensively around Valencia and in South America and became the main disseminator of the Tàrrega school in Brazil. She was a pioneer in her genre, paving the way for future generations of guitarists, especially women.[1] Although she did not compose works, she transcribed the work of classical composers such as Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Chopin.
