Woman on Top

Woman on Top (2000) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

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 ...

The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions

The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions (2005) more music like this

by Seu Jorge

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 ...

CéU [Enhanced] (2005) more music like this

by CéU

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 ...

Ana & Jorge: Ao Vivo (2006) more music like this

by Ana Carolina/Seu Jorge

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 ...

Brazil Classics, Vol. 1: Beleza Tropical

Brazil Classics, Vol. 1: Beleza Tropical (1989) more music like this

by Various Artists

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 ...

Divina Estampa

Divina Estampa (1995) more music like this

by Caetano Veloso

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 ...

Brazil Classics, Vol. 2: O Samba

Brazil Classics, Vol. 2: O Samba (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

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 ...

Everything Is Possible: The Best of Os Mutantes

Everything Is Possible: The Best of Os Mutantes (1999) more music like this

by Os Mutantes

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 ...

Get It Together

Get It Together (1997) more music like this

by Pete Belasco

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 ...

A Great Noise

A Great Noise (1997) more music like this

by Marisa Monte

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 ...

Livro

Livro (1998) more music like this

by Caetano Veloso

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 ...

Universo ao Meu Redor: Samba

Universo ao Meu Redor: Samba (2006) more music like this

by Marisa Monte

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 ...

Brazil Classics, Vol. 4: The Best of Tom Ze - Massive Hits

Brazil Classics, Vol. 4: The Best of Tom Ze - Massive Hits (1990) more music like this

by Tom Zé

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 ...

Rose and Charcoal

Rose and Charcoal (1994) more music like this

by Marisa Monte

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 ...

Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve

Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

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 ...

Samba Brasil [Philips]

Samba Brasil [Philips] (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

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 ...

by Marisa Monte

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 ...

Tropicália 2

Tropicália 2 (1994) more music like this

by Caetano e Gil

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 ...

Courage (1969) more music like this

by Milton Nascimento

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 ...

Gil e Jorge (1975) more music like this

by Gilberto Gil/Jorge Ben

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 ...

The Best of Caetano Veloso (2003) more music like this

by Caetano Veloso

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

by Tânia Maria

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 ...
