Gonzaguinha

**Gonzaguinha** (1945–1991), born Luiz Gonzaga do Nascimento Júnior, was a Brazilian singer-songwriter and a fiery voice of *MPB* (Música Popular Brasileira). The son of legendary *forró* king Luiz Gonzaga, he carved his own path with poetic, socially charged lyrics that tackled inequality and hope. Tracks like "Comportamento Geral" and "Explode Coração" became anthems, blending soulful melodies with a rebellious spirit. Though his life was tragically cut short in a car accident, his music remains a cornerstone of Brazilian culture, celebrated for its raw honesty and infectious rhythms. Fun fact: Despite their shared legacy, Gonzaguinha and his father had a famously complicated relationship, which he poignantly explored in songs like "Pai". Recent releases, like remixes of his classics, prove his timeless vibe still resonates. 🌟

*(Note: The tracklist provided includes posthumous releases/compilations, as Gonzaguinha passed away in 1991. Titles like "Aquarela do Brasil" are covers, as the original is by Ary Barroso.)*
