1	Bonfires of São João (2006) more music like this by Forro in the Dark Forro, simplified, is a dance form and its attendant music that, for over a century, has been extremely popular in northeastern Brazil, its profile having been considerably raised by the late folklorist and accordionist Luiz Gonzaga. Forro is generally played with three instruments -- the accordion, the zabumba (a bass-like drum), and a metal ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $11.86!
2	Essential Guide to Brazil (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Although this three-CD compilation of Brazilian music offers material by several major performers and samples several different styles, it's far from the definitive guide the title might lead one to anticipate. When a CD (disc one of this set) that's titled "Bossa Nova -- The 60s Revolution" includes versions of "The Girl From Ipanema" and ... see all copies from $6.45! new only from $19.82!

4	Brazil Classics, Vol. 7: What's Happening in Permambuco (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Although it is home to Recife, the coastal city that ranks as the fifth largest in Brazil, the eastern state of Permambuco has, until recent years, been overlooked as a source of musical innovation. That all changed in the late '90s with the now-deceased Chico Science, a forward-thinking musician who took the region's traditional maracatu, mixed ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
5	Samba Nouvelle Vague (2005) more music like this by Sivuca see all copies from $9.76! new only from $12.48!
6	Tráfico (2006) more music like this by Think of One Finally, after seven albums beginning with 1998's Juggernaut, Flemish avant-world funksters and rhythm-aholics Think of One have an album distributed in the United States (thanks to Crammed and Rykodisc): 2006's Tráfico. For those unfamiliar with the band's wanderings, Think of One are apt to turn up recording with indigenous musicians practically ... see all copies from $2.17! new only from $15.49!
7	Solar (1999) more music like this by Elba Ramalho Commemorating 20 years of career with a softer emission, Elba Ramalho released this double album (sold at the price of a single), in which one of the discs was recorded live in this same show in Salvador, BA, and in her 1999 appearance at the Montreux Festival. The concept here is to unify the different fan bases: including successes of the ... see all copies from $82.19! new only from $82.19!
8	Brazil Classics, Vol. 3: Forro, Etc. (1991) more music like this by Various Artists When David Byrne first visited the Salvador/Bahia region in 1986, a new musical form that he never heard before amazed him. Dubbed forro, this dance sound originally hailed from northeastern Brazil, described as "a mixture of ska with polka" by Byrne himself. All of the album's tracks radiate a strong, positive energy, created in the most part by ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $13.84!
9	Sivuca [Adeus Maria Fulo] (1973) more music like this by Sivuca On the cover photograph, Sivuca may resemble an elf whose voice one would expect to be a high falsetto chirp, accompanied by the thrummed acoustic he has in hand. With white locks and a full beard, staring delightfully into the skin of his own eyelids, Sivuca has an ecstatic smile that is only half an indication of the joy this album contains. ... see all copies from $40.00!

11 view cover	Original Classic Recordings, Vol. 1: Mandolin Master of Brazil (1991) more music like this by Jacob Do Bandolim Mandolin, no: he plays an instrument that is its big brother. But the "master" bit is right. This is choro, a rough parallel to ragtime, and a particularly fine string-band sound. The recordings here date mostly from the '50s and include some mellow accordion on three cuts. This is true but polished music from the magic (and very rare) moment when ... see all copies from $10.32! new only from $17.27!
12 view cover	Millennium: Wagner Tiso (1999) more music like this by Wagner Tiso Wagner Tiso is a gifted and competent composer/arranger/pianist and longtime main arranger for Milton Nascimento's albums, and also his partner in several successful compositions, like "Coração de Estudante" and "Caso de Amor" (both included here). This compilation focuses on his instrumental work of the 1980s, interpreting his originals and ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!

16 view cover	Hunger Gives You a Headache (2001) more music like this by Cascabulho Cascabuhlo's debut disc is dedicated to Jackson do Pandeiro who, with Luiz Gonzaga, popularized the roots music of northeastern Brazil throughout the country in the ‘40s and ‘50s. This is another Recife-area Mangue Beat crew (the cover calls it a "Mangue Forró Manifesto from Recife"), one which falls closest to the Mestre Ambrosio folklore update ... see all copies from $11.49!

23 view cover	Brazil Forró: Music for Maids and Taxi Drivers (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Forro didn't become as popular abroad as other Brazilian styles, although it has its charms. The form mixes European influences in arrangements and verse and chorus structure, with Bahian/Indian rhythms and vocal styles. It features predominantly trios, with accordions, triangle and zabuma (shallow marching drum) the prime instrumentation. The ... see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!

The rest of the 17 songs are from the 1997/1998 albums, including the classics "Assum Preto," "Qui Nem Jiló," "Súplica Cearense," "O Xote Das ... see all copies from $33.50!
25 view cover	Asa Branca: Accordian Forro from Brazil (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Many Brazilian pop and jazz greats who have enjoyed some degree of publicity in the U.S. (everyone from Flora Purim to Joao & Astrud Gilberto to Ivan Lins) have some connection to the samba. But in fact, samba is only part of Brazil's story. In northeastern Brazil, a less publicized (in the U.S.) form known as forro has flourished. Spotlighting ... see all copies from $17.77!
