I've been listening to a lot of Brazilian music lately and these are my favorite artists as of right now. Feel free to add more to this thread.

*Ben Jorge Jor
*Seu Jorge
*Tim Maia

[Kaizen]

Da lata
Sergio mendes
Mc marcinho? Who sings glamurosa
Tribalistas

[Tony Snow25]

MC Marcinho has some sick tracks. MC Catra is my favorite baile funk artist though. Catra has some bangers such as Vem todo mundo, adulterio, Vai comencar a putaria, Vem kikando.

[azulsombra]

Marcio G
Avioes do forro

[Ajiaco]

Os Mutantes, Brazilian psychedelic rock

Gilberto Gil

Bebel Gilberto - Samba chillout style

This Jorge Ben song is my favorite all time from Brazil

Cansei De Ser Sexy - Hipster alert

[speakeasy]

Sabrina Malheiros, Ceu, Marcos Valle, Toquinho, Flora Purin, Airto, Joyce, Arthur Verocai. Many others...

[Amour Fou]

This is my favourite brazilian singer nowadays:

Luisa Maita

This band was a major internet hit some months ago and they achieved national fame overnight. You be the judge:

A Banda Mais Bonita da Cidade

This was one of the biggest bands in brazilian rock a few years back but they're through since:

Los Hermanos

One of the biggest brazilian rock bands out there. Active since the early 90's

Skank

[Amour Fou]

Personally, when it gets to brazilian music, I prefer "música caipira", meaning our brand of country-folk music, somewhat different from "sertanejo" that tends to be more mainstream oriented.

Look for singers such as:

Renato Teixera

Almir Sater

There is also Pena Branca & Xavantinho and Sérgio Reis as well...

Give it a try, might be different from the brazilian music that is exported worldwide.

[Basil Ransom]

Bossa nova:

Joao & Astrud Gilberto
Stan Getz

There's lots of better stuff not on youtube. I don't know the music well, I just secure it one cd at a time. PM me for more.

[sine wave killer]

I was going to make a new post, but I decided to use the search function and add to this one.

[Excelsior]

One of my favorites:

[Caramel Communist]

classic...listen to this song like every other day


Sergio Mendes - can't believe nobody listed this guy....probably the most influential brazilian artist in american music..hip hop, house, soul...who do you think the black eye peas copy most of their shit from?

Astrid...take it easy my brotha

Heard this on FF5 ....turned me on to this dude Marcel D2

also MV Bill is big....

[Pilgrim37]

My ex introduced me to this guy's music,he's a pretty cool cat:

And this girl

Interesting Trailer on movie about Brazil music,looks good:

Luisa Malta's Video is also good to see the more "ghetto" side of São Paulo

Chocolate , since you like Hip Hop...do you like Projota ?

Criolo has cool songs indeed.

[Mrs. Chocolate]

Never heard of him. I will check it out!
Do you like samba rock?

[YoungGunner]

yes, do you go to samba rock venues?

[Mrs. Chocolate]

Yes, I used to go to Di Quinta a while ago.
But I listen to it more at family parties.

[Amour Fou]

I suffer prejudice from my peers in Brazil because I'm somewhat alienated from my own culture. There are very few Brazilian artists that I actually do listen spontaneously on a frequent basis, particularly those I listed over this thread here.

I wish there was a more experimental/underground/don't-give-a-flying-fuck attitude in the Brazilian music scene, I find it far too complacent and mainstream nowadays (nowadays? It's been like that for a while). Experimental freaks like myself have no space what so ever. Everything is too polished and either too big or too small, no in between.


Edit: cool experimental rock band from Rio I used to like few years back> Binário.

Luisa Maita is dope. Reminds me of Goapele.

Do you know any other artists with that type of sound or a newer sound? I'm looking for more modern Brazilian artists. A lot of the stuff posted here is from earlier decades.

[Hencredible Casanova]

This band is dope. I saw them perform in Curitiba, Brazil a couple of years ago.

They are called Natiruts. Brazilian roots reggae band.

This video is of them doing a cover of that famous baile funk song "Rap da Felicidade"

I'm not exactly the "to go' person, but I can share some of what I know

Luciana Mello

Roberta Sá (she's cool!)

Fernanda Porto (the one that started the drum 'n bass mixed Brazilian hype)

This is a rock band that is getting big nowadays, they have a cool presentation - O Teatro Mágico

I know the singer of this band, we went to music school together (I dropped out and she carried on. Funny thing, years later I hooked up with her cousin, and that is how I heard from her again haha), cool stuff:

More traditional samba, but a newer band:

And this is a band I like just to stand out from what I've shown here so far, they gained some popularity abroad as well (just listen!):

Macaco Bong

... and there is this label especialized in Brazilian music, if you search you can find some new names:
