1	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!
2	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!
3	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!
4	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!
5	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!
6	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!
7	Caetano Veloso (Irene) (1969) more music like this by Caetano Veloso This second Caetano Veloso solo LP was recorded in June 1969, when Veloso and Gilberto Gil were behind the bars of the military dictatorship. The albums (Gil also recorded his own) were devised in part to provide them with a connection to the outside world through which authorities would be discouraged of attempting some violence against them. The ... see all copies from $22.43! new only from $22.43!
8	Meu Nome é Gal: The Best of Gal Costa (1990) more music like this by Gal Costa Although she has released dozens of recordings in her three-decade long career, this anthology is the best place to be introduced to one of the great voices in pop music. Covering a period from the start of tropicalia in the late '60s up to post-military dictatorship years of the '80s, this is as strong a collection of Costa's material as one is ... see all copies from $9.83! new only from $9.83!
9	In Tokyo (2004) more music like this by João Gilberto In Tokyo is a straight parallel import of the Japanese disc of the same title. It is a solo concert recorded in 2003 with the Great One playing solo -- just the man, the voice, and the guitar, running through classics and lesser-known tunes from "Corcovado" and "Ligia" to "Bolhina de Papel" and "Wave." Thankfully, this a songwriter's set as much ... see all copies from $9.34! new only from $16.43!
10	Live in Bahia (2002) more music like this by Caetano Veloso Caetano Veloso has released his share of live albums over the years, but he still manages to make each one a delight, which is no mean feat. Live in Bahia takes him home to the region where he grew up, and where the audience is his from the first note. Put out to coincide with the publication of his book, Tropical Truth, he's not afraid to delve ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $26.31!
11 view cover	Chill: Brazil (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A quick survey of the track listing of Warner Music Latina's Chill: Brazil collection is sure you make you salivate if you're into Brazilian music, especially any kind with a bossa nova slant. Marcos Valle, Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Bebel Gilberto, João Gilberto, Os Cariocas, Elis Regina, Jorge Ben, Banda Black Rio -- ... see all copies from $12.22! new only from $16.52!
12 view cover	Live in Montreux (1991) more music like this by João Gilberto The eminence grise of bossa nova steps halfway out of the shadows in a performance that, as always, adds new depth to the word reflective. Guitar of perfect simplicity backs vocals at once provisional-seeming and definitive. The songs themselves mix standards like "Aquarela do Brasil" and "Garota de Ipanema" with less familiar songs. John Storm ... see all copies from $10.95! new only from $12.65!
13 view cover	Bossa Nova Brasil (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A good various-artists sampler of the modern Brazilian sound, including cuts from contemporary artists like Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.22! new only from $10.29!
14 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $10.29!
15 view cover	Gil Luminoso (2006) more music like this by Gilberto Gil Throughout his four-decades-plus career as one of Brazil's most popular singers, Gilberto Gil has restlessly sought new avenues of expression, from the heady and fiery psychedelic Tropicalia of the '60s to his 2002 album of Bob Marley covers, Kaya N'Gan Daya. But there was one thing Gil had never attempted until now, an album spotlighting nothing ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
16 view cover	Achados e Perdidos (2005) more music like this by Curumin Curumin is the stage name of Brazilian musician Luciano Nakata Albuquerque, who began his musical journey very early in life and had absorbed a wide variety of influences by the time he was a teenager, at which point he formed and played in a series of funk bands while learning about popular Brazilian music in school. His years of listening and ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $8.98!
17 view cover	Me, You, Them (2001) more music like this by Gilberto Gil This excellent CD finds Gilberto Gil killing two birds with one stone -- he provides the soundtrack for a Brazilian film (Me, You, Them), and he also pays tribute to the seminal Luiz Gonzaga. Often described as the father of baião, Gonzaga was among Brazil's most influential artists of the 20th century; his innovations had a major impact on ... see all copies from $3.92! new only from $7.78!
18 view cover	Pure Brazil: Caipirinha (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $12.33! new only from $14.56!
19 view cover	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!
20 view cover	Mel (1979) more music like this by Maria Bethânia This is the CD reissue of the LP recorded in 1979, one year after Álibi, which had sold one million copies and inaugurated Maria Bethânia's popular phase, after her cult beginning in the Teatro Vila Velha (Salvador BA) continued in the political show Opinião. This album had her biggest hit with "Grito de Alerta," the first of many written by ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
21 view cover	Soul Jazz Records Presents Tropicália: A Brazilian Revolution in Sound (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $18.51! new only from $18.51!
22 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
23 view cover	Dezembros (1988) more music like this by Maria Bethânia see all copies from $13.29! new only from $13.29!
24 view cover	Expresso 2222 (1972) more music like this by Gilberto Gil Expresso 2222, Gilberto Gil's first album back in Brazil after spending two years in exile, is a spirited return to form, filled with driving, funky bass, hammering piano, and percussive guitar work. Gil's compositions are on par with the best of his 1968 and 1969 self-titled albums, but is a more even overall affair forsaking the outright ... see all copies from $12.31! new only from $13.74!
25 view cover	Mutantes (1969) more music like this by Os Mutantes One album into their career in 1969, Mutantes showed few signs of musical burnout after turning in one of the oddest LPs released in the '60s. Similar to its predecessor, Mutantes relies on an atmosphere of experimentation and continual musical collisions, walking a fine line between innovation and pointless genre exercises. The lead track ("Dom ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
