1	Something's Gotta Give (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Appropriately enough, the December-December romantic comedy Something's Gotta Give's soundtrack features a smooth and sophisticated set of mature love songs that range from vocal jazz to standards to bossa nova. Bookended by two versions of "La Vie en Rose" -- a sassy yet sentimental version by Louis Armstrong and slick yet strangely heartwarming ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $6.81!
2	Woman on Top (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Appropriately enough for a movie that takes place in Brazil and San Francisco, the soundtrack to the romantic comedy Woman on Top consists of bossa nova from Xavier Cugat, Geraldo Azevedo, Caetano Veloso, and Paulinho Moska. The story of a chef in -- and out of -- love with the leader of a bossa nova band, the film is complemented perfectly by ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $8.54!
3	The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions (2005) more music like this by Seu Jorge add to wishlist Raised in the slums of Rio, Brazil, singer/songwriter Seu Jorge used his formidable talent and undeniable charm to great effect in director Wes Anderson's seafaring comedy the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou as a guitar strumming deckhand. The catch was that Pelé dos Santos only knew how to play Portuguese versions of David Bowie tunes, all 13 of ... see all copies from $11.54! new only from $11.54!
4	Ana & Jorge: Ao Vivo (2006) more music like this by Ana Carolina/Seu Jorge add to wishlist This is a live recording from a show by Seu Jorge and Ana Carolina in São Paulo in August 2005. Jorge and Carolina are two of the most successful artists who appeared on the Brazilian popular music scene during the first years of the new millennium. The concert was largely acoustic, with rather sparse musical arrangements. This creates a more ... see all copies from $4.28! new only from $4.28!
5	Brazil Classics, Vol. 1: Beleza Tropical (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Brazil Classics, Beleza Tropical is the first in a series compiled by Talking Heads singer David Byrne that preceded the big wave of interest in Tropicalia during the late '90s by almost a decade. Performers include such influential Brazilian figures as Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Jorge Ben, with several songs from each. The selected ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.00!
6	Red Hot + Rio (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Now this is an interesting project; Brazilian standards and newly-composed music interpreted or transfigured by the old masters, rock stars and cutting-edge '90s musicians - with all the proceeds going to fight the spread of AIDS. What is so remarkable about this album is how wholeheartedly the younger musicians relate to the cruising Brazilian ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.51!
7	Brazil Classics, Vol. 2: O Samba (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This is a compilation of samba from the collecting hands of David Byrne of Talking Heads fame. The selections primarily focus on the modern forms of the genre, more specifically on the studio end of the spectrum, with little or no relation to the large-scale productions associated with Carnaval in Rio. There are bits of reference to the classic ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.35!
8	Everything Is Possible: The Best of Os Mutantes (1999) more music like this by Os Mutantes add to wishlist The first major-label release of Mutantes material was this 1999 compilation, put together by longtime Brazilian fan David Byrne through his Luaka Bop label. Including tracks from the band's late-'60s and early-'70s LPs (available separately through Omplatten), Everything Is Possible is a solid collection that only includes 14 tracks but does ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.15!
9	Tanto Tempo (2000) more music like this by Bebel Gilberto add to wishlist After working with artists like Caetano Veloso, David Byrne, and Towa Tei, Bebel Gilberto made her solo recording debut in the U.S. with Tanto Tempo, licensed for American release in 2000 by Six Degrees. It's an album of stylish, cool, contemporary bossa nova, with Gilberto's vocals a bit more assured and polished than Astrud Gilberto's classic ... see all copies from $2.25! new only from $11.55!
10	A Great Noise (1997) more music like this by Marisa Monte add to wishlist Complete with racy cover art, A Great Noise is, so far, Marisa Monte's best record. Featuring seven new studio tracks and 11 live recordings, this is a dizzying collection of material, from the seductive funk-pop and roll of Gilberto Gil's ebullient "Cérebro Electrônico" to an earnest, and surprisingly affecting, rendition of George Harrison's ... see all copies from $9.25! new only from $9.25!
11	Timeless (2006) more music like this by Sergio Mendes add to wishlist It's easy to think that since Santana made his big comeback using a lot of contemporary pop stars it would become the formula for the artists of yore to edge their way back into the limelight. Sergio Mendes, the best-selling Brazilian recording artist of all time, hasn't made a platter in eight years. He plays piano on a Black Eyed Peas track -- ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $15.34!
12	Universo ao Meu Redor: Samba (2006) more music like this by Marisa Monte add to wishlist After four years of silence, Marisa Monte reappeared with two simultaneously released albums, Universo ao Meu Redor and Infinito Particular. On Universo ao Meu Redor, Monte thoroughly explores, and in her own way interprets, the sound of Brazil's most famous music style, samba. This was a much anticipated project, as Monte's few earlier samba ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.31!
13	Rive Gauche Rio (2005) more music like this by Celso Fonseca add to wishlist At first listen Rive Gauche Rio seems like an extension of Celso Fonseca's prior disc, with its gentle, acoustic bossa nova and sophisticated sounds. But go a little deeper and you'll find a layered animal, with very subtle programming touches burbling under the instruments, as on "Um Mundo Estranho," where there's plenty to delight the ear just ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $11.58!
14	Brazil Classics, Vol. 4: The Best of Tom Ze - Massive Hits (1990) more music like this by Tom Zé add to wishlist A cofounder of the tropicalista movement with Veloso, Gil, Bethania, et al., Zé has faded into obscurity as his music becomes more and more experimental and eccentric. This is by far the best Brazilian recording I've ever heard (caveat emptor!), partly because of the gentleness of Zé's weirdness and partly because he sounds so Brazilian even as ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $7.94!
15	Uma Batida Diferente (2001) more music like this by Bossacucanova & Roberto Menescal add to wishlist The Brazilian trio Bossacucanova has been taking the smooth, jazzy sound of bossa nova and muscling it up with breakbeats, turntablism, and electronica since they first hit the international dance music scene in 1999. Their third album isn't really a departure from their previous work (album title notwithstanding, the beats are pretty much the ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $13.74!
16	Rose and Charcoal (1994) more music like this by Marisa Monte add to wishlist Marisa Monte is one of the best figures of today's Brazilian pop (a category that does not comprise pure samba, choro, canção, baião, and other Brazilian popular musics). While most new bands and interpreters center their work on futile material and focus on easy formulas and clichés, she is concerned in really adding something to the superb ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $8.54!
17	Compact Jazz: Astrud Gilberto (1990) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist For listeners new to Gilberto's classic Verve work, this edition of the label's Compact Jazz sampler series makes for a perfect introduction. Along with Verve's equally fine Silver Collection of Gilberto's prime sides, this 16-track set includes cuts from most of the singer's different projects. From her classic Getz date ("The Girl From Ipanema") ... see all copies from $8.48! new only from $9.12!
18	Infinito Particular (2006) more music like this by Marisa Monte add to wishlist After four years of silence, Marisa Monte reappeared in 2006 with two simultaneously released albums. One, Universo ao Meu Redor, which focuses on samba, and then this, Infinito Particular, which has a more typical MPB sound. Like its twin album, Infinito Particular has that smooth and dreamy atmosphere that became the trademark of Tribalistas ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $12.05!
19	Sim (2007) more music like this by Vanessa da Mata add to wishlist Sim is Vanessa da Mata's third album and the first after the huge commercial success of Essa Boneca Tem Manual, from 2004. If Essa Boneca Tem Manual was a blatant, although undeniably very successful, appeal to pure commercialism and the radio hit lists, Sim is a firm step back towards a more intellectual approach to Brazilian pop music. Liminha, ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $11.31!
20	Courage (1969) more music like this by Milton Nascimento add to wishlist Milton Nascimento's first album for North American ears, recorded at Van Gelder Studios in New Jersey under the watchful eye and discerning ear of Creed Taylor, is a masterpiece, a gorgeously executed tour through his early songs. Backed beautifully by Eumir Deodato's lush orchestrations and a clutch of sidemen from the Taylor stable (including ... see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
21	Cru (2005) more music like this by Seu Jorge add to wishlist There is a reason that Brazilian singer/actor Seu Jorge regularly sells out live shows and attracts the likes of Bill Murray, his co-star in 2004's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, to performances: he not only has a charming way with acoustic renditions of classic David Bowie songs (as proved in the movie; those who missed it should check the ... see all copies from $2.77! new only from $13.80!
22	The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album (1991) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist Astrud Gilberto has never been properly anthologized by Verve Records; although they've released a number of compilations over the years, none of them have been definitive, and most of them have been rather skimpy. 1987's The Silver Collection, originally released only in Europe but later imported to North America, is an idiosyncratic selection. ... see all copies from $4.18! new only from $12.49!
23	The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim (2000) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim add to wishlist see all copies from $7.78! new only from $7.78!
24	Gil e Jorge (1975) more music like this by Gilberto Gil/Jorge Ben add to wishlist Recorded with little rehearsal and only two acoustic guitars (plus a percussionist) for accompaniment, Gil e Jorge focuses squarely on the individual talents of Gilberto Gil and Jorge Ben as musicians, vocalists, performers, and improvisers. Of course, they prove up to the task. The nine lengthy tracks on the album (it was originally configured as ... see all copies from $12.51! new only from $12.51!
25	Samba Meu (2007) more music like this by Maria Rita add to wishlist Brazilian MPB star Maria Rita changed direction for her third album, Samba Meu, which, as its title ("My Samba") makes clear, is a samba collection. As on her previous albums, the warmly received Maria Rita (2003) and Segundo (2005), the musical arrangements are acoustic and jazzy, with first-rate production quality. Also like her previous albums, ... see all copies from $8.47! new only from $8.47!
