1	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!
2	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!
3	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!
4	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!
5	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!
6	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!
7	Samba Soul 70! (2001) more music like this by Various Artists From the same label that brought listeners the incredible Frikyiwa and African Travels compilations, Samba Soul 70! is a deliciously retro flashback to Brazil's infectious musical movement of the late '60s/early '70s. Inspired by the American Black Power movement and public figures like Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King, Jr., Brazilian musicians ... see all copies from $12.64! new only from $12.64!
8	Trampolim (1999) more music like this by Mônica Salmaso When one is lost in the arid labyrinth of samplers and drum machines in Brazilian releases, there is no avoiding the question: Are you taking and using world pop culture, or are you taken by it? In the case of abusive commercial efforts (which represent the majority of the releases), the answer is clear.Fortunately, there are some younger artists ... see all copies from $6.88! new only from $13.81!
9	Universo ao Meu Redor (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 ... see all copies from $6.73! new only from $13.14!
10	Carlinhos Brown Es Carlito Marron (2004) more music like this by Carlinhos Brown see all copies from $5.34! new only from $20.59!
11 view cover	A Kwanzaa Music: Celebration of Black Cultures in Song (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Kwanzaa music is as colorful as the traditional red, green, and black hues that are employed to celebrate the holiday. African in origin, the seven-day celebration is practiced by many African Americans. It takes place from December 26 through January 1. The Swahili word means "first" or "first fruits," and the holiday celebrates the first harvest ... see all copies from $1.99!
12	Grande Encontro: Serie ao Vivo (2006) more music like this by Elba Ramalho/Alceu Valenca/Ze Geraldo see all copies from $7.31! new only from $21.99!
13 view cover	Voadeira (2002) more music like this by Mônica Salmaso see all copies from $10.04! new only from $12.95!
14 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!
15 view cover	Omelete Man (1999) more music like this by Carlinhos Brown On his second album, produced by Marisa Monte, Carlinhos Brown succumbs under the weight of the generalized expectancies that transformed him into an overnight Brazilian superstar. He really represents (together with so many good people) one of the paradigms of being Brazilian -- when he plays his fantastic percussion, he delivers the rich history ... see all copies from $7.12! new only from $7.12!
16 view cover	Memories, Chronicles and Declarations of Love (2000) more music like this by Marisa Monte On this album, the always correct Marisa Monte preferred to stick to pop grooves, instead of the strong adherence to Brazilian rhythms heard in some of her previous albums. There are exceptions, though. "Abololô" is an exquisite rendition for a beautiful melody in a typical Northeastern modal scale (Lydian b7), which sounds pretty exotic, haunting ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
17 view cover	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!
18	Fruto E Raiz (2006) more music like this by Alcione see all copies from $7.80! new only from $14.82!
19 view cover	Dezembros (1988) more music like this by Maria Bethânia see all copies from $13.29! new only from $13.29!
20 view cover	Shambhala Moon (1982) more music like this by Bola Sete When Bola Sete's widow Anna issued Ocean Memories, a series of solo recordings made in 1972, it marked the first time his sophisticated solo guitar music had been on CD. The music that appears here was recorded ten years later and issued on the Dancing Cat label. It is the only known recording of Sete playing solo with a steel-string guitar. The ... see all copies from $13.99! new only from $13.99!
21 view cover	Iaiá (2004) more music like this by Mônica Salmaso Mônica Salmaso is one of those singers Brazil seems to produce by the dozens. She has a seductive, cool voice, mellifluous and on control over the material. She sounds wonderfully in control on the samba "Cabrochinha" and the stripped down "Estrela de Oxum," as well as an imaginative cover of Tom Zé's "Menina, Amanha de Manha." There's plenty of ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $6.48!
22 view cover	Memoria da Pele/Memory of Skin (1990) more music like this by Maria Bethânia Bethania, of course, is one of the great names. Above all, she is a fine, smoky ballad singer with a gorgeous voice, as this 1989 release of songs by composers from Joao Bosco to Djavan amply testifies. The best cut, among many great ones, is a simply gorgeous song to fado-style guitars. John Storm Roberts, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.98! new only from $19.19!
23 view cover	Alfagamabetizado (1997) more music like this by Carlinhos Brown It seems nearly every country has a star that represents its "voice of the people" (i.e., Jamaica's Bob Marley, Senegal's Baaba Maal), and Carlinhos Brown, who's often referred to as "the Brazilian Prince," fulfills that role in his homeland. Alfagamabetizado, produced by Wally Badarou and Arto Lindsay, finds Brown mixing Brazil's rich traditional ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $22.26!
24 view cover	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!
25 view cover	Ao Vivo [1978] (1978) more music like this by Maria Bethânia & Caetano Veloso This is another of the cult albums by the baianos Maria Bethânia and her brother Caetano Veloso. Recorded live in 1977, the strong fusion sonorously packages excellent tunes, such as "Carcará" (sung by Veloso because Bethânia had so much success interpreting it in the Opinião show that she became associated with protest songs, a tag she was ... see all copies from $18.10! new only from $18.10!
