Sumario:Musical practices of women from the elites during the colonial period and the beginnings of the Republican era in Santiago, Chile, had a lot of visibility in the context of the tertulia. However, musical activities of women from the plebe have been scarcely studied. This is due mainly because the places where their musical performances were held were not mentioned in travelogues and other descriptions known, sources that have been traditionally used, in addition to written music, to study colonial musical practices. In this paper we would like to approach the involvement of women from the lower classes in Santiago's soundscape at the end of the colonial period by using criminal records, a source that has not yet been considered by urban musicology.
