When I enter London’s Brazilian Embassy at 6.49 p.m., “Let HER Music Play” is already six hours old, but only a quarter of the way through. Organized by the Donne Foundation, which advocates for women in the music industry, it’s an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest acoustic live-streamed concert using music solely by female and non-binary composers and songwriters. The hall is only half full as I enter, but as far as the record goes, that doesn’t matter so much; there’s a hundred or so people watching the concert online.
