Each of his parents was the child of an African slave and a White plantation owner. Most of his music was liturgical; about 240 works survive. In 1817 Padre José Mauricio Nunes Garcia wrote Brazils first opera, Le Due Gemelle (The Two Twins), which was later destroyed by fire. https://youtube/watch?v=lo358gLTAMU
