Luizão Maia

Luiz de Oliveira da Costa Maia (April 3, 1949 – January 28, 2005) is widely acknowledged as the father of the modern Brazilian bass. His unparalleled sense of rhythm and deep subwoofer-like tone stirred the sauce behind the classic recordings of Elis Regina, João Bosco, Tom Jobim, Djavan and Chico Buarque.
