The New Beat: What Brazilian music are you listening to now?

One of the oldest samba groups still in activity:

Demônios da Garoa - Saudosa Maloca (1957)

 

This damned CD is like a great doobie on a sunny day.

 

Yeah, and great guitar parts all over this record. Did you know Motta is known for having at home an incredible collection of more than 30,000 LPs?

 

Oh yes, I've seen pics. I love this guy. Such a mind and heart!

 

Today I wake up in the mood of Maria Bethania & listen her album " Passaro Da Manha" I like her voice.

 

This guy is the ultimate music nerd. I think i saw this interview of his in this thread, but gonna post here again:

 

Lovely, a compilation of songs by others that Jobim contributed to the Brazilian "Songbook" series.

 

71 years old, 51-year career, still relevant...

 

Picked this two cd set up for .01 and shipping from amazon. Has some rarities I haven't yet identified nor seem to have in my collection, quite a few.

 

Os Tres Brasileiros - Brazil:LXIX

 

Walter Wanderley - Rain Forest

 

Marcos Valle - S/T

 

Joyce - Encontro Marcado

 

Just got the Doxy re-release of this and it is sooooo good. I've got Samba on the BRAIN right now. I can't wait to check out the other recommendations in this thread!

 

There isn't much current Brazilian music worth mentioning, but these guys are great:



Their three albums can be downloaded for free on their website: http://www.dibigode.com

There's also a new one coming out soon.

They'll be playing four shows in Minneapolis this week, so if you're anywhere near, check them out!

 

Osmar Milito - ...E Deixa O Relógio Andar!

 

That's a great album!

Be sure to also check out the 1972 original soundtrack for 'Selva de Pedra', by Marcos Valle.

It's one of his strongest works and includes these three tracks performed by Osmar Milito & Quarteto Forma:

 

Yeah, it's a winner! I especially dig the jazz covers of "Cantaloup Island" and Mercy Mercy Mercy".

Cooool, I will definitely check that out! Speaking of soundtracks, I was able to snag the Valle/Azymuth OST for O Fabuloso Fittipaldi. Beautiful stuff:

 

Beautiful indeed! I could do without all those spoken snippets though!

Marcos was on fire in the early '70s... He even wrote and recorded the soundtrack for the Brazilian version of Sesame Street!

 

Man those puppets are sad... tune is nice and funky though!

Time for some Garra I think :

 

Gal Costa - Índia

 

Been digging Jorge Ben's first album lately. He was, what, 18 when that came out? Pretty accomplished songwriting.

 

His masterpiece!

 

Any love for Fabiano do Nascimento's debut?
