1	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 ... see all copies from $11.32! new only from $13.34!
2	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 ... see all copies from $9.27! new only from $12.69!
3	Clube da Esquina (1972) more music like this by Milton Nascimento/Lô Borges A classic double LP recorded in 1972 by Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges, the album had orchestrations from Eumir Deodato and Wagner Tiso under the conduction of the renowned clarinetist/composer/orchestrator Paulo Moura. The title Clube da Esquina is related to the gang of mineiros (people from the Minas Gerais state) that populate this release, ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.33!
4	CéU [Enhanced] (2007) 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 ... see all copies from $11.20! new only from $15.12!
5	Putumayo Presents: Brasileiro (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The great thing about Putumayo's world music compilations of the '90s was the label's tendency to make such unlikely choices. If a Putumayo compilation focused on Celtic music, many of the artists wouldn't be Irish or Scottish -- and if the focus was salsa, Putumayo wasn't about to limit itself to big stars out of Cuba and Puerto Rico. A ... see all copies from $10.48! new only from $13.20!
6	Elis & Tom (1974) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina This beautiful -- and now legendary -- recording date between iconic Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina and composer, conductor, and arranger Tom Jobim is widely regarded as one of the greatest Brazilian pop recordings. It is nearly ubiquitous among Brazilians as a household item. Regina's voice is among the most loved in the history of Brazilian ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
7	Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve (1959) 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 ... see all copies from $8.40! new only from $10.29!
8	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 ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $2.99!
9	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 ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $16.47!
10	Mais (1991) more music like this by Marisa Monte Marisa Monte, a very warm, charismatic, and vulnerable artist, turned out to be one of Brazil's top female vocalists of the 1990s. Mais proves that her popularity is well deserved. Most of the songs on this CD, which did a lot to establish her success, are quite memorable -- including the humorous "Diariamente," the charming "Rosa," and Caetano ... see all copies from $5.21! new only from $10.79!
11 view cover	Prenda Minha (1999) more music like this by Caetano Veloso In this uneven album, Caetano Veloso used cool jazz and Gil Evans' orchestrations as the raw material for his synthesis with contemporary Bahian rhythms -- "Terra," from 1978, is an epic description in which Sketches of Spain influences dialogue with their rhythmic similarity with Bahian grooves. The track is the best of the album, which brings no ... see all copies from $2.71! new only from $13.78!
12 view cover	Maria Rita (2004) more music like this by Maria Rita Distant from the mass-market mentality of the United States pop music industry in more ways than one, the MPB field has been and continues to be ripe with beautiful and lively music, with Maria Rita's debut album standing tall as an exemplary document of the sort of music blossoming in America's other hemisphere. This beautiful and beautiful ... see all copies from $5.50! new only from $14.74!
13 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $3.76! new only from $9.00!
14 view cover	Intimidade (2005) more music like this 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 ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $8.90!
15 view cover	Infinito Particular (2006) more music like this 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 ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $13.14!
16 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $16.23!
17 view cover	Segundo (2005) more music like this by Maria Rita 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 $7.05! new only from $16.52!
18 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $6.35! new only from $11.13!
19 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $6.26! new only from $14.43!
20 view cover	Pieta (2003) more music like this by Milton Nascimento It's been far too long since the great Nascimento released an album of new material, but on the basis of this, he's completely on form, not losing his golden touch at all. Dedicated to his late stepmother, it finds Nascimento mining the themes of childhood and love that have always been the very heartbeat of his music. And to help him explore them ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $9.99!
21 view cover	Tribalistas (2002) more music like this by Tribalistas The hype that was built up before the release of this joint effort by Arnaldo Antunes, Marisa Monte, and Carlinhos Brown was enormous. Luckily, the trio delivered and fulfilled all expectations, although perhaps in a different way than many people had anticipated. Tribalistas is a very good but simple and unpretentious record. The music consists ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $11.61!
22 view cover	Astronauta: Songs of Elis (1998) more music like this by Joyce On this excellent album, Brazilian singer Joyce is surrounded by important jazz musicians Joe Lovano, Mulgrew Miller, Renee Rosnes, and Romero Lubambo, along with competent musicians Rodolfo Stroeter, Dori Caymmi, Guello, and Tutty Moreno. The release is a tribute to Elis Regina, one of the best singers of MPB, and Joyce interprets only songs ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $15.41!
23 view cover	Favela Chic Postonove 3 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The third volume in a breathtaking series that charts Brazilian club culture -- from the samba/bossa nova of the '60s through the party hip-hop of the 2000s -- has a similar arc to previous volumes: '70s and '80s singers and/or songwriters dominate the first half, while hip-hop and sampladelic acts take over the latter half. If the inclusions aren ... see all copies from $10.67! new only from $12.35!
24 view cover	Cibelle (2003) more music like this by Cibelle The debut album from the Brazilian singer made semi-famous as the voice on Yugoslavian/Brazilian pianist Suba's hit album. The lyrics and songs are essentially all written by Cibelle over the course of a few months surrounding the creation of the album, and the sound was engineered by Cibelle along with Apollo 9, an up-and-coming Brazilian ... see all copies from $11.53! new only from $14.49!
25 view cover	The Now Sound of Brazil (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Fans of the European avant-garde scene are familiar with Belgium's Crammed Discs label, but may not know that it has a Brazilian subsidiary called Ziriguiboom. Not surprisingly, the music that Ziriguiboom releases tends to be less chilly and inaccessible than what you often hear from Crammed. Even at its most experimental, the music is almost ... see all copies from $8.04! new only from $10.64!
