Have you heard about Gregório de Matos (or in similiar english: Gregory Matos)?
He was born on century XVII, when formerly a big country called Pindorama would become as Brazil. If you didn't know, in the past, Brazil was once a Portuguese colony and Portugal had two important capitals: Bahia and Recife. One of these cities was borning our main character: Gregório (Gregory) de Matos. Do you know which city?
Ok... You're right. The answer is Bahia.
In my opinion, I consider Gregory was a pearson ahead of his time, because in a Era when the State and the Church has been fighting trying to have control of the sociaty and, of course, the Orient and Occident's colonies, besides other kind of things like to censure the freedom of speech and discard literary work. (Do you remember? We're talking about century XVII, when the Inquisition was happening in Europe, problaby).
But, in Brazil, Gregory had never closed his mouth. He was a poet and he has hated all the people using the same intensity. He hasn't had any kind of respect about the brazilian people (when formely they were only a explorers), the Pindorama's natives, the black people slaves, the bourgeoisies, the religion's figure, men, women, all of the creatures aliving on that time.
He has long poems about them, criticizing their lives and showing their hypocrety along the poems.
Now the text is extensive, but above all, I totally recomend to google more things about him. And my next text is goona be holding more informations about him.
Thank you and see ya!

My correction isn't the only possibility but it is one way to make the sentence more concise.

About Gregório de Matos (Gregory Matos)
Have you heard about Gregório de Matos (or in similiar english: Gregory Matos)?
Have you heard about Gregório de Matos?
I think it is OK to just use the Portugese name.
He was born oin the 17th century XVII, when formerly a big country called Pindorama would become as BrazilBrazil was still known as Pindorama.
He was born in the 17th century, when Brazil was still known as Pindorama.
We don't typically use Roman numerals for centuries in English, we just use numbers: "the 20th century", "the 21st century", etc.
I would rephrase the last part to make it a bit clearer that this was just the old name for what is now Brazil.
Alternative: "before the country of Pindorama became Brazil."
If you didn't know, in the past, Brazil was once a Portuguese colony and Portugal had two important capitals there: Bahia and Recife.
If you didn't know, in the past, Brazil was once a Portuguese colony and Portugal had two important capitals there: Bahia and Recife.
I've added "there" to make it clear these were Portugese capitals in Brazil specifically, and not in Portugal.
One of these cities was borning our main character:, Gregório (Gregory) de Matode Matos, was born in one of these cities.
Our main character, Gregório de Matos, was born in one of these cities.
OR: "In one of these cities, our main character Gregório de Matos was born."
OR: "One of these cities was the birthplace of our main character, Gregório de Matos."
"Borning" is not a word in English --> this word doesn't change much across the different tenses, eg. you would say "he was born", "he will be born", "he had been born", "he is being born", etc
Do you know which city?
Ok...
You're right.
The answer is Bahia.
In my opinion, I considerthink that Gregory was a pearson ahead of his time, because in a En era when the State and the Church has been fighting trying to have control of the sociaety and, of course, the Orient and Occident's colonies, besides other kind of things like to censureor the freedom of speech and discard literary work.

OR: "I consider Gregório a person ahead of this time."
"An" before words starting with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u)
Censure = an official legal action to express disapproval
Censor = to suppress free speech in books, letters, speeches, other media
"the Orient and Occident" = I understand what you are saying, but I think it would be more natural to say "the East and the West", as this phrasing is kind of formal or even old-fashioned
I wasn't 100% sure what you meant by "discard literary works", so I just removed it. If you kept it in, you would have to add an S to workS, as it is plural.
(Do you remember?
We're talking about the 17th century XVII, when the Inquisition was happening in Europe, problably).

You typically have respect FOR someone or something
Don't forget to capitalise nationalities (eg. Brazilian, Australian, English, etc)
Ethnicities are also typically capitalised (eg. Black, Indigenous, Jewish, etc)
Either "alive" or "living"
AT that time
He has long poems about them, criticizing their lives and showing their hypocrety along the poemsisy.
He has long poems about them, criticizing their lives and showing their hypocrisy.
I think it would be best to remove the last part as you already specified he was writing poems, so it's just a bit repetitive.

And my next text is goona be holdinging to provide more informations about him.
And my next text is going to provide more information about him.
Information is never pluralised. It is also usually "provided", not "held".
You CAN use "gonna" as a shortened form of "going to", but it is extremely informal so I would use it only for texting friends, and not use it in essays like this.
Thank you and see ya!
Feedback
This was a super interesting text - I had never heard of this guy until now! He sounds like an interesting person.
A little tip - you can switch languages on Wikipedia, and I use this function to check how names translate, or what words are typically used to describe something specific in my target language. I checked the English Wikipedia page for this guy, and it only uses his Portugese name, so I think translating his name to English isn't needed. I've found this is also a great way to practice reading in your target language.

This is an excellently written text - keep up the good work! Also, welcome to LangCorrect :)
