1	Bird of Paradise (1988) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist Bird of Paradise came roosting around the time the second Brazilian wave began to crest in North America, following Djavan's extensive contributions to the Manhattan Transfer's Brasil album. And this album's a beaut -- full of strong, haunting, lusciously melodic songs often backed by that gently jumping, uplifting rhythm that runs through much of ... see all copies from $7.99!
2	Axe Brasil: The Afro-Brazilian Music Of Brazil (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist From Rio de Janeiro to Bahia, the samba beat is the common ground that unites Brazilians musically (which isn't to overlook the richness of a non-samba style like forro). Go to Rio, Bahia, Brasilia and Sao Paulo, and you'll hearing a variety of things done with the samba. The state of Bahia is where Afro-Brazilian culture is the most prominent, ... see all copies from $14.96! new only from $44.99!
3	New World Party (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Putumayo label has sometimes been guilty of a certain overweening multicultural earnestness in its presentation of various ethnic music traditions. On this winning compilation, though, it's all about the groove. Leading off with a cool, beat-heavy remake of Miriam Makeba's "Pata Pata" and proceeding through examples of, among other things, ... see all copies from $23.10! new only from $23.10!
4	Hemisphere: World Music Sampler (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Capitol presents an all-purpose world music collection with heavy emphasis on the danceable. Entitled Hemisphere, it should probably say "southern hemisphere" because in this case "world" really means "mostly Africa" and "a handful from Latin America" in the form of Brazilians Djavan Caetano Viana and Joel Nascimento along with Chilean ensembles ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.98!
5	Bicho Solto O XIII (1999) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist A predictable release by the Brazilian important composer Djavan, Bicho Solto, his 13th album, has no surprises. Fully danceable in funky watered-down versions (with the exception of the beautiful, fluent melody of "Retrato da vida" and the angular "Tão raro"), surrounded by the indulgence of a faithful audience earned over the years by his ... see all copies from $4.11! new only from $15.86!
6	Brazil Now (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Brazil Now is a good collection of contemporary Brazilian music in the '90s. Many of the artists on the album are on EMI's roster -- not surprising, since it's an EMI-Hemisphere release -- but there are also a few stars, like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, who have been licensed to give a more complete picture of Brazilian music. The gambit ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.86!
7	Puzzle of Hearts (1990) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist 1990s Puzzle of Hearts is an album surprisingly similar to both Djavan and Oceano (both released in 1989), all of which are on Columbia Records, no less. In fact, no less than seven of the nine tracks on Djavan and Oceano (which are essentially the same album) make up the bulk of Puzzle of Hearts. The new tracks here are the title track, a soft ... see all copies from $2.85!
8	The Rhythm Safari: The Best of World Music (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Rhythm Safari: The Best of World Music is a budget-priced, 11-track collection that concentrates on African music, but it does toss in some Mediterranean, Spanish and Indian music for good measure. It's a good sampler, especially since it is faithful to the PC tastes of collegiate worldbeat fans of the early '90s, containing numbers from such well ... see all copies from $1.99!
9	Esquinas (1994) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist see all copies from $13.18!
10	Canta Brasil: Great Brazilian Songbook, # 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The title of this Verve compilation is somewhat misleading. After all, Antonio Carlos Jobim, perhaps Brazil's greatest songwriter, and Joao Gilberto, one of its most beloved interpreters, are nowhere to be found. Rather than the collection of classic compositions it appears to be, Canta Brasil is a set of recordings that document Brazilian pop's ... see all copies from $7.85!
11 view cover	Luz (1996) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist This album marked Djavan's association with American producers. After signing with CBS, he recorded this album in the U.S.A. (in Portuguese), which was produced by Ronnie Foster. For that occasion, Quincy Jones acquired the publishing rights of many of his songs through Djavan's own publisher Luanda. The album is divided between a romantic section ... see all copies from $18.83! new only from $18.83!
12 view cover	Novena (1995) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist In spite of the wonderful jazz-like sounds of this album, produced and arranged by Djavan himself, none of its songs happened. The samba "Limão," the samba de Angola "Nas Ruas," the Bahian samba "Quero-quero," the swinging effect of the use of contrast between time signatures and melody in "Lobisomem," the instrumental fusion "Sete Coqueiros," and ... see all copies from $17.03! new only from $17.03!
13 view cover	Djavan Ao Vivo (1999) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist see all copies from $22.20! new only from $47.02!
14 view cover	Seduzir (1981) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist By the time he recorded his third album, Seduzir, Djavan was a superstar in Brazil, and was attracting attention in American jazz, R&B and pop circles as well. Though his style inspires comparisons to fellow Brazilian great Milton Nascimento, Djavan is a distinctive vocalist whose inspirations range from Northeastern Brazil's tropiscalismo school ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $5.99!
15 view cover	Brazil: The Essential Album (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist With tracks from seminal artists like Antonio Carlos Jobim, Jorge Ben, Elis Regina and Vinicius de Moraes, Brazil: The Essential Album is actually a fairly decent -- and fun -- collection of some of the country's musical traditions. Of course, there are exclusions (Caetano Veloso, Milton Nascimento, João Bosco, and Beth Carvalho, most notably), ... see all copies from $20.79! new only from $20.79!
16 view cover	Vaidade (2004) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
17 view cover	Brazil Blue (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 1994 compilation appeared in Capitol's Hemispheres series and contains 18 cuts of wonderfully recorded semi-modern samba , MPB, jazz, and bossa. Rather than pop together a sampler that showcases newer artists with a few legends tossed in for value, this set contains tracks by the Milton Banana Trio, Bola Sete, Ivan Lins, Joel Nascimento, ... see all copies from $5.50!
18 view cover	Coisa De Acender (1994) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist This album, co-produced with Ronnie Foster, is less jazz-influenced (in comparison to, for example, Novena), dedicated to a more straightforward pop style, but not as pop as Lilás. The album has Iberian influences in "Andaluz" mixed with Afro-samba, a partnership with Caetano Veloso in "Linha Do Equador," and the songs that really made it to the ... see all copies from $17.81! new only from $17.81!
19 view cover	Djavan (Cera de Indio) (2002) by Djavan add to wishlist see all copies from $20.55! new only from $20.55!

21 view cover	Alumbramento/Cara de Indio (1992) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist see all copies from $6.44!
22 view cover	Para Sempre (2002) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist This is a quite straightforward and basic compilation of Djavan's biggest hits and most famous songs, including ballads like "Seduzir," "Álibi," "A Ilha," and "Aquele Um" that appear on most Djavan collections. There is also the great xote song "Serrado," which reminds the listener of Djavan's home state, Alagoas, in the Brazilian northeast region ... see all copies from $99.99!
23 view cover	Djavan (Cara de Índio)/Seduzir (2003) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist see all copies from $21.00! new only from $21.00!
24 view cover	Samba! (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This stunning samba overview, culled from the vast archives of EMI Brazil, includes selections from artists including Joao Gilberto, Carmen Miranda, Clara Nunes, Djavan, Ivan Lins and Dorival Caymmi. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $25.62! new only from $25.62!
25 view cover	Milagreiro (2002) more music like this by Djavan add to wishlist Mi Lagreiro was one of the most critically acclaimed MPB albums released in Brazil during the year 2001. The record starts off very well with the xote-styled opening track, "Farinha," which is perhaps the biggest highlight of the album. Another good song is "Infinitude," on which Djavan collaborated with Flávia Virgínia. On the excellent, somewhat ... see all copies from $21.15! new only from $21.15!
