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

That's what I heard too... But I don't care,my Portuguese is even worse than my English, so the lyrics don't bother me... I'm still trying to buy a legitimate CD version of it, but all I find online is way to expensive...

 

I totally agree , it sounds like western pop music but then you realise that he is using different harmonic structures

 

Disc 2

 

Caetano Veloso, Transa

 

The latest US cd remaster. Sounds so good.

 

Marco Esch's Bossa Nova Gospel and 7 Estrello's stream. The Amazon must be filled with melody... check out "Lua"

Very diverse music from a master guitarist from Brazil.

 

Antonio Carlos Jobim - Tide

 

The US Verve cd of that one is coming up next on the carousel.

Right now it's

 

Hear and see he live here:

 

Oh yeah! I have about 20 Tania Maria cds and a DVD. Love that woman!

My favorite taped performance:

 

Milton Nascimento - Milagre Dos Peixes

 

Really like this one.

 

I've spent two years in Brazil, nowhere in the world have I seen such an amount of great musicians. From two old fellows composing sambas on the corner of a table in a bar to a young girl singing and playing a fretless bass Jaco style accompanied by a stunning percussionist in a supermarket (!), music is everywhere.




Duo: Romero Lubambo e Cesar Camargo Mariano.
Wonderful interplay between the two musicians.

 

Sivuca - Sivuca

 

Just got these Gilberto Gil:

 

Brazil Classics, Vol. 7: What's Happening in Pernambuco


Highly recommended album of reasonably contemporary Brazilian music

 

Volumes One through Four of: "Beatles 'N' Choro". A truly loving and sincere tribute.
