1	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!
2	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 $8.98! new only from $11.54!
3	CéU [Enhanced] (2005) more music like this by CéU add to wishlist CéU's debut album -- originally released by Urban Jungle Records in Brazil in 2005 and reissued two years later in the U.S. by Six Degrees in conjunction with Starbucks -- is a lush blend of African-rooted North and South American music styles (MPB, samba, soul, jazz, Afrobeat, reggae) with cutting-edge contemporary production techniques. The ... see all copies from $2.50! new only from $6.99!
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 $5.20! new only from $5.20!
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	Divina Estampa (1995) more music like this by Caetano Veloso add to wishlist In 1994, Caetano Veloso released the Cd Fina estampa, singing boleros. The huge success of that album conduced him to conceive the live show, where this album was recorded. Fans of Caetano will welcome his wonderfully sensitive and energetic interpretations for Brazilian and Latin classics, after roughly one decade and a half dealing with mostly ... see all copies from $4.79! new only from $12.85!
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 $9.21!
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 $1.99!
9	Get It Together (1997) more music like this by Pete Belasco add to wishlist Whether Belasco's sound is influenced by others or simply derivative is open to argument. On various tracks his singing echoes either Sting's jazz-pop moan or Marvin Gaye's soul falsetto. The music itself owes a tip of the hat to Mose Allison's bop-pop and latter-day Beatles. What is undeniable is the appeal of the mix. Two mesmerizing ballads, "I ... see all copies from $47.95!
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 $4.50! new only from $9.25!
11	Livro (1998) more music like this by Caetano Veloso add to wishlist Caetano Veloso continues his free-thinking explorations of tropicalismo on this ambitiously arranged, elaborately packaged suite of songs devoted to whatever happens to cross his mind. Veloso says that he was listening a lot to the collaborations of Miles Davis and Gil Evans around this time, and Jaques Morelenbaum's charts often reflect their ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.00!
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	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!
14	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 $9.91!
15	Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In the hope that Red Hot + Rio would ignite interest in Brazilian music within the X-Generation, Verve simultaneously released a historical survey with similar cover art, similar noise interludes between tracks, and occasionally, the same tunes (do not be confused!). Although some of the same old stuff reissued a thousand times before is here (the ... see all copies from $2.86! new only from $9.10!
16	Samba Brasil [Philips] (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Samba Brasil is a fine collection of some of Brazil's best active performers, not really definitive of anything but full of quality material. Some of the biggest names here include Caetano Veloso, Elis Regina, Gal Costa, Beth Carvalho, Maria Bethania, Joao Bosco, and Chico DaSilva -- so the lineup leans toward an overall tropicalia flavor ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $9.14!
17	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 $5.48! new only from $12.05!
18	Tropicália 2 (1994) more music like this by Caetano e Gil add to wishlist Between harsh criticism (due to the retro opportunistic use of Tropicália), and sectarian defense, Tropicália 2 yielded a Caetano Veloso/Gilberto Gil tour through E.U.A. and Europe one year after this release. The reference to Tropicália was used as a safe-conduct for the duo's incursions in electronics, axé music (the contemporary and pragmatic ... see all copies from $7.62! new only from $15.38!
19	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!
20	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!
21	The Best of Caetano Veloso (2003) more music like this by Caetano Veloso add to wishlist It is understandable that Elektra/Nonesuch deemed an overview of Caetano Veloso's output on the label appropriate, but naming this collection The Best of Caetano Veloso is audacious. Veloso has been a pioneer of Brazilian pop since 1967, when his debut album sparked one of Brazil's most famous movements in music and politics, the legendary ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
22	Milton (Raça) (1976) more music like this by Milton Nascimento add to wishlist Although several of Nascimento's most familiar songs are contained in this debut American release, Milton (Minas) (referring to his home state of Minas Gerais) is a remarkably cohesive piece of work that stands as one of his finest. It includes famous tunes "Carvo e Canela" and "Nada Sera como Antes." ~ Terri Hinte & Michael G. Nastos, All Music ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $8.16!
23	Segundo (2005) more music like this by Maria Rita add to wishlist Segundo is the second album by Maria Rita, following up on her enormously successful debut album from 2003. Rita undoubtedly is a very talented singer with a great voice. She proved it on her first album and proves it again on Segundo. But after all the huge expectations built up by large sections of the media before this release, you can't help ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
24	Cantando Historias (2005) more music like this by Ivan Lins add to wishlist see all copies from $4.90! new only from $11.99!
25	Intimidade (2005) more music like this by Tânia Maria add to wishlist Though pianist and singer Tânia Maria's Intimidade was originally released in the fall of 2005, it didn't become domestically available in the U.S. until the next year when Blue Note issued it, which is a good thing for American fans of Brazilian jazz, or jazz, or just good music in general. Because Intimidade is a great album, rich and full while ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.21!
