Luis Fernando de Moura Cagnin (born April 28, 1984) is a Brazilian musician, music instructor and YouTuber who produces videos about heavy metal culture, video games, and politics. He has been described as a "far-right conspiricist" by the New York Times, and YouTube demonetized his YouTube channel for infractions related to hate speech and disinformation.[1]
Music and YouTube career
Moura became interested in music at the age of 7 while studying the electric organ, but later became disinterested and took up guitar influenced by the group Blind Guardian. He studied in the Netherlands at Erasmus University Rotterdam under individuals including Kiko Loureiro.[2] Moura founded his band, Pandora101, alongside his brother Gugo in 1999, when Moura was 17. He played guitar and performed vocals, while Gugo played the bass. They made four albums and a few singles. However, he rarely performs live, with only two or three shows a year. Moura was inspired by groups including Whitesnake, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Pantera, and Death. To explain his band's lack of success, Moura attributes what he sees as Brazil's lack of appreciation for quality music.[3]
As of March 2016, Moura's channel had 500,000 subscribers and a total of 87 million views. Created in 2012, his channel initially concentrated on his band, Pandora101, as well as metal and pop culture. In late 2014, however, he shifted to a discussion of conservatism, highlighting "logic" and aggression in his approach. As of 2016, Moura included references to Plato, Aristotle, Padre Paulo Ricardo, and others, using a rhetorical style that Moura describes as somewhat priestly, reflecting his education at an Adventist college. Moura imitates, ridicules, and uses nicknames for Pirula (a biologist) and Maestro Bogs (a musician and militant atheist), two other YouTubers.[3] Moura benefited from YouTube's algorithm (at least before 2019) and directed users to novel content.[1] In February 2019, YouTube demonetized many of Moura's videos, after which Moura released several videos complaining about this decision.[4]
Nando Moura has launched online courses and a book called Masters of Capitalism.[5]
Positions
As of 2016, Moura described himself as a liberal-conservative, saying that he emphasized preserving the good that society had produced and supporting freedom in individuals' actions. However, he opposed treating homosexual couples in the same manner as heterosexual ones, arguing that the former could not raise a child effectively and arguing with references to Plato and Aristotle.[3]
Though Moura supported Jair Bolsonaro prior to his election and during his early term, he came to speak out strongly against Bolsonaro, calling him a traitor in a 2019 tweet criticizing the passage an 'anti-crime' package.[6]
Controversies
In early December 2020, Nando became involved in a controversy with the musician Matuê, claiming that Matuê's music was poor and sets a bad example through their use of drugs. Moura claimed that Matuê participated in the Flow Podcast program and that the program glorified marijuana use. Nando and Matuê exchanged attacks on Twitter, and Matuê said: "There, @ moura_101 sucks my perreco dick," Nando replied: "Don't confuse me with your father."[7]
In February 2019, Nando erroneously stated on his channel that Stalin had two Nobel Prizes. This led to mocking on social networks. The error was later corrected in the video description.[8]
In mid-April 2019, a false story spread among networks and influencers, including Tecmundo and Felipe Neto, that Moura would be arrested for offending a college student. In 2015, Moura had told the student in a video on her channel that she "had to do poor things to get sucked on government tits", because Nando disagreed with the student's position, which sued him. The portals that shared the false story had their articles blocked. Felipe Neto was convicted in the first instance for fake news about Nando Moura. The case was later dismissed.[9][10]
Influence
Estadão describes Moura in 2019 as once being among the most influential online defenders of Bolsonaro. Moura's 2019 tweet criticizing Bolsonaro for his "anti-crime" package was (erroneously) retweeted by Abraham Weintraub, the Minister of Education.[6]

A carreira longa, po-rém, não se reflete em sucesso de público, pelo menos no quesito apresenta-ções ao vivo. Os shows são raros ("dois ou três ao ano"), segundo Nando, porque o Brasil não valoriza a música de qualidade.
