Brazilian Pop Music

[Feanor IV]

Anyone interested in this musicstyle? You know, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa etc etc etc. Any Brazilian guys here? I need some help, some recommendations (artists you like, albums you recommend plus a list of a few good songs to begin with )

Any help - i'll be sooooo grateful!

Well, to be honest, besides the weird guitar playing I hate almost all Brazilian music. Period.

 

[Angrafan]

hey! I am a big fan of Brazilian popular music!!

I recommend Chico Buarque. He's a really good song writter and his lyrics are amazing (in portuguese, though)! He's been around since the 70's and still plays great music.

A newer artist I really like is Fernanda Porto. Her stuff is really original! She kinda mixes up Brazilian music and drum n' bass... Awesome stuff...

Lenine and Zeca Baleiro are 2 new artists as well, pretty cool and weird stuff!!

Djavan is a classic! Really sophisticated brazilian pop music...

Milton Nascimento is an amazing singer...

Hell, there are a lot of talented artists...

I think this kinda music is, well somewhat distinguished..(it is Brazilian Music), I recall hearing once the singer Milton Nascimento..so I'll have to recommend him..although I don't usually listen to such music..

I was expecting a Brazilian "Hot Models" (Pop Music)

that new band trio is not bad, with carlinhos brown (i think) and a girl

Speaking of south america...

Ten years ago I was in Colombia for holidays.
I discover there a tiny girl, with black black hair, singing beautiful sad songs samba like coming from the earth. Her guitar playing was minimalist but very interesting. Her name was Sharkira, 10 years later she seems younger than ten years ago and speak stupid songs...

You mean "Tribalistas"?! Damn, I hate that stuff. They play it all the time at the local brazilian restaurants. Listen to some Fado instead. Great portuguese music.
