Lets talk Brazilian music! Who's your favorite? What's big on the scene?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Brazilians or anybody else!

Me I'm listening to a lot of Caetano Velosa, Os Mutantes, Bebel Gilberto, Atrud, Jobim...

José loves Djavan and all those named above.

Who do I need to know about?

[ContinentalOp]

1. I don't know about anything new, but I agree with those you listed!

And I'll add Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa in the '60s tropicalia vein and Bola Sete for some amazing Jazz guitar.

[Sandpiper]

2. I was always fond of

Banda Eva and Gabriel O Pensador when I lived there.

[sundog]

3. Jobim! Jobim! Jobim!

:bounce:

[jpgray]

17. I was just listening to Wave! You know what they say about great minds?

Yeah me neither. :P

[sundog]

20. One of my all-time favorite albums -- that can smooth my mood...

no matter what kind of funk I'm in :hi:

[MuseRider]

4. I don't know too much

about it but I am very fond of Uakti. I saw them live in San Fran by accident in 1981. What a deal.

[MrSlayer]

5. Sepultura!

Brazilian Thrash Metal!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. That's right

I forgot they were brazilian!

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. Sepultura was the first thing that came to mind!

Followed closely by Sergio Mendes!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. Deus meu!!!

Como trágico

[SoCalDem]

6. The best will always be Ipanema

:):)

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. Astrud Gliberto, of course.

Os Mutantes, in moderation.

I'm not terribly familiar with contemporary Brazilian music.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

a few days ago. The owner was practicing some Bossa Nova guitar.

9. oooh and for something not brasilian, but w/ portuguese and brasilian

origins.....cabo verde music...putamayo world music put out a compilation...i'll bet they have some kick-arse brasilian stuff

[sundog]

10. You should check out the Brazilectro series

absolutely amazing -- it fuses bossa nova with current electronic sounds -- killer vibe -- very trippy, stoney, jazzy, ambient, current Brazilian dj's mixing it all up

[Ann Arbor Dem]

11. Maria Rita is huge right now.

She's the daughter of the late Elis Regina (a must know) and Cesar Camargo Mariano and has the chops.

Others, in no special order:

Lenine, Guinga, Chico Science and Nação Zumbí, Carlinhos Brown, Cibelle, Mônica Salmaso, Gilberto Gil, Teresa Cristina & Grupo Semente, Seu Jorge, Tim Maia, Jorge Ben, Chico Buarque, Vinícius de Moraes, Toquinho, Moreno Veloso (Caetano's son), Davi Moraes (amazing guitarist), Maria Bethânia, Jussara, Hermeto Paschoal, Novos Baianos, Mestre Ambrósio, Vinícius Cantuária (lives in NYC), João Bosco, Ed Motta, Zélia Duncan, Olodum, Virgínia Rodriguês....

...vacations in Brazil every year. While there, he always buys tons of great CDs, which he then plays on his World Music show. Unfortunately, I can't readily recall the names of any of the artists he has played, but it sure is nice stuff!
