Luiz Gonzaga was a Brazilian singer, songwriter, musician and poet and one of the most influential figures of Brazilian popular music in the twentieth century. He has been credited with having presented the rich universe of Northeastern musical genres to all of Brazil, having popularized the musical genre baião.

Today, accordeonist Ivan Greg and his trio makes a tribute to the King of the Baião!

Musician born in Petrolina Pernambuco Brazil, Ivan Greg, despite defining himself as an accordion player, moves between regional and universal music.
He started his relationship with music at the age of 9, mastering the keyboard, and from the age of 15 he began to perform in bars and concert halls. It was in Holland that he dedicated himself to the accordion and the piano.

During his stay in Europe he worked on the dissemination and valorisation of Brazilian music and the culture of the Northeast of Brazil.
Today, he has a degree in music from the IFSertão-PE/ Petrolina campus and has tried to transfer his knowledge in workshops on the accordion.

Already performed with artists like Santana the Singer, Flávio Leandro, Jorge de Altinho, Targino Gondin, Irah Caldeira, Gean Ramos Pankararu. He opened shows of Alceu Valença, Djavan and Ana Carolina in Europe, and also accompanied the singer Carla Visi on tour in Europe, the USA and Brazil.
In Petrolina, he has been doing some projects in partnership with local musicians such as Camila Yasmine, Mariano Carvalho, Guilliard Pereira, Eugênio Cruz, Ryan Nunes and Joana Souza.

With a remarkable stage presence, draws the attention of the audience by the lightness of his interpretations.
