Carlos Gomes is the composer. His full name was Antônio Carlos Gomes. "Gomes" is sometimes given as "Gomez."
In 1914, Emmy Destinn and Enrico Caruso recorded "Sento Una Forza Indomita," a duet from Il Guarany (The Guarany). This opera is based on the novel O Guarani by José de Alencar. Its libretto is in Italian rather than Gomes' native Portuguese.
