    Luiz Gonzaga do Nascimento (standard orthography 'Luís'; Portuguese pronunciation: [luˈis ɡõˈzaɡɐ]; Exu, December 13, 1912 – Recife, August 2, 1989)[1] was a Brazilian singer, songwriter, musician and poet and one of the most influential figures of Brazilian po[CENSORED]r music in the twentieth century. He has been credited with having presented the rich universe of Northeastern musical genres to all of Brazil, having po[CENSORED]rized the musical genre baião and has been called a "revolutionary" by Antônio Carlos Jobim.[2] According to Caetano Veloso, he was the first significant cultural event with mass appeal in Brazil.[3] Luiz Gonzaga received the Shell prize for Brazilian Po[CENSORED]r Music in 1984 and was only the fourth artist to receive this prize after Pixinguinha, Antônio Carlos Jobim and Dorival Caymmi. The Luiz Gonzaga Dam was named in his honor.[4][5][6]

    Gonzaga's son, Luiz Gonzaga do Nascimento Jr, known as Gonzaguinha (1945–91), was also a noted Brazilian singer and composer.
