Luiz Gonzaga - O Nordeste na Voz de Luiz Gonzaga (1962)

Hello, good evening! Any history of Brazilian popular music will not be complete if does not dedicate a whole chapter to Luiz Gonzaga, "O Rei do Baiao", finally available at Loronix. Thanks to everyone to keep whispering on this parrot ear to correct this important missing piece at our community. Luiz Gonzaga, "The King of Baiao," is also the creator of this style, the baiao style, popular across decades and recorded by legends as Luiz Bonfá, Dolores Duran, Dick Farney and others. This first Luiz Gonzaga album at Loronix is a compilation, the best approach to start digging the vast discography of this great artist. Let's see.

This is Luiz Gonzaga - O Nordeste na Voz de Luiz Gonzaga (1962), for RCA Candem, featuring a compilation of Luiz Gonzaga tunes taken from previous albums and 78 RPMs. Loronix Preview Center features Asa Branca (Luiz Gonzaga / Humberto Teixeira), a song that everybody in Brazil sings by heart and the anthem of an entire region, the Northeast of my Brazil.
