  Luiz Gonzaga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luiz Gonzaga (December 13, 1912 - August 2, 1989) was born in the countryside of Pernambuco (Northeastern Brazil) and was personally responsible for the promotion of northeastern music on the rest of the country.
Son of a peasant and accordion player, he got interested in the 8-bass accordion since a very young age, but by that time he would help his father by playing the zabumba (type of northeastern bass drum) and singing in parties and religious celebrations.
Gonzaga decided to remain in Rio de Janeiro with a recently purchased accordion.

As a child Gonzaga was captivated by the stories of the Brazilian bandit/accordion player Lampiao (who died at the age of 36 in 1934).
Gonzaga died in 1989 at the age of 77.

With his accordion in hand, jester-cowboy pointed hat on his head, and wide-eyed country-boy smile, it's a miracle that Luiz Gonzaga made such an impact on urbane 1940s Rio de Janeiro.
But it was his enduring compositions and lively performances that popularized baiao, the 2/4 dance from Brazil's rural northeast that shares some affinities with zydeco and polka.
A new generation of Brazilian pop musicians have also rediscovered Gonzaga (who died 12 years ago), and he probably would have approved of their noisy tribute.

 Gilberto Gil: Me, You, Them (Eu, Tu, Eles): music from the film / RootsWorld Recording Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In a happy coincidence, Brazilian filmmaker Andrucha Waddington asked Gilberto Gil to create a soundtrack for his new dramatic comedy, which took place in the arid interior region of Brazil's northeast.
The associations of the simple but tough lives of the film's rural characters brought Gil back to his own childhood, when he was enthralled by the "king of baiao," Luiz Gonzaga.
The adult Gil laid down 14 tracks as a homage to his boyhood idol, playing some of the songs that Gonzaga was known for, such as the anthem "Asa Branca," and penned several original tunes in the same spirit, including the current Brazilian hit "Esperando Na Janelo."
