Does Sepultura count? Though they are first and foremost a death metal band they integrate elements from Brazillian music. "Roots" Is probobly their most ethnic sounding release.

They count, and are actually a good band that does include some Brazilian elements in their music, but are not really what we're talking about. By Brazilian Music we're talking about traditional and, as CrumbCat said " Brazilian Music - Bossa Nova, Forro, Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB), Pagode, Samba, Tropicalia......just to name a few types of the wonderful music from Brazil."

It's mostly a kind of sexy, jazzy, rhythmic groove and beachy yet tribal type of music laced with gorgeous melodies. You should check out some of the artists we've named, you'll love it.

Cool - I've been meaning to get set up for a while. To be honest, I haven't really dl'd anything in months. I run a recording studio, and use this PC for everything, so I uninstall most unneccesary programs when in heavy session mode. When I get a bit of time (maybe next week) I'll get set-up again, and try SoulSeek. I just popped into the forum to see what was going on a few days ago, and have gotten caught up in some fun threads. 

Great to hear! A recording studio, huh? That sounds like fun, challenging work. I'm looking forward to seeing you there, and i can't wait to have a look at your collection. And you are right, there have been some especially fun threads lately.

tianup - I don't think I could have said it better myself. That's a great description. People who have never heard any of the music we're talking about are really missing out on something magical.

Looking forward to seeing you there, and in the meantime, I'm enjoying the great dialog!

Tchau!

Cool. I'm looking forward to it as well - hopefully next week.

Man, I thought of another immense Brazilian talent - Badi Assad...


Badi Assad (pronounced bah-jee Ah-Sahj) is one of Brazil's most talented performers. A heartfelt vocalist who sings in English and Portuguese and is known for her Bobby McFerrin-like improvisations, Assad is also one of the country's truly accomplished guitar players. The younger sister of famed guitarists Sergio and Odair of the duo Assad......

She's this incredible Brazilian woman who can play INCREDIBLE fingerstyle acoutic guitar, sing gorgeously, make mouth percussion (trad) and play percussion with her hands on the guitar all at the same time! Check it out. BTW - Si, the dialog is great. Ciao.
