1	Maria Elena/Always in My Heart (1997) more music like this by Los Indios Tabajaras Maria Elena/Always in My Heart is a single-CD that combines Los Indios Tabajaras' two hit albums from the early '60s. Both records contain laid-back, folky and vaguely Brazilian arrangments of contemporary pop and traditional Brazilian folk songs. There's a lot of filler on the disc, but it's enjoyable filler and anyone looking for a single disc ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $14.60!
2	Nos (2000) more music like this by Virginia Rodrigues Strongly informed by Rodrigues' allegiance to the Condomble religion, a Yoruban/African-derived faith with similarities to Haiti's Santeria cult, Nos finds the Brazilian singer once again weaving her powerfully spiritual voice through a supple backdrop of Bahian rhythms and tropicalismo flourishes. The disc appropriately begins with a song to Exu ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $14.95!
3	Bonfires of São João (2006) more music like this by Forro in the Dark Forro, simplified, is a dance form and its attendant music that, for over a century, has been extremely popular in northeastern Brazil, its profile having been considerably raised by the late folklorist and accordionist Luiz Gonzaga. Forro is generally played with three instruments -- the accordion, the zabumba (a bass-like drum), and a metal ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $11.86!
4	Putumayo Presents: Acoustic Brazil (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Acoustic Brazil is Putumayo's fourth installment in its popular regional series which includes Brasileiro, Samba Bossa Nova and Brazilian Groove. Focusing again on bossa nova and samba canção, the compilers have put together a heady mix of old and new, with legendary performers like Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso and Chico Buarque crooning alongside ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
5	Sol Negro [Hannibal] (1997) more music like this by Virginia Rodrigues Arising from obscurity, 33-year-old Virginia Rodrigues, who grew up outside of Salvador, Brazil, was introduced to the recording world by Brazil's popular singer Caetano Veloso. Sol Negro is an incredible album that mixes the vocal talents of Rodrigues and percussive rhythms of her native Brazil. To describe this recording as heavenly or hymn-like ... see all copies from $13.22! new only from $14.95!
6	Serie Platino: 20 Exitos (1997) more music like this by Los Indios Tabajaras see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
7	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!
8	Maria Elena, Vol. 1 [1992] (1992) more music like this by Los Indios Tabajaras see all copies from $4.08! new only from $4.90!
9	Babel (1997) more music like this by Pau Brasil The Banda Pau Brasil aims to produce universal music through Brazilian roots. Directly evocative of Weather Report's discoveries, the group researches Brazilian Indians traditions, music, and instruments, mixing them in their pot with jazz harmonies and soloing, classical influences, and contemporary atmosphere. Pure acoustic, swinging, straight ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $3.64!
10	Os Dias Da Madredeus (1996) more music like this by Madredeus Os Dias da Madredeus, Madredeus' debut album on the Portuguese market, offered for the first time the group's appealing and remarkable compositions. The record exposed the sole musical mission of the Portuguese ensemble. Providing sole compositions, Madredeus settled their musical course in between the original Portuguese fado and influences ... see all copies from $8.11!
11 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!
12 view cover	Maricotinha (2001) more music like this by Maria Bethânia Maria Bethânia is an extremely talented singer with a unique and dramatic voice, but on too many occasions during her long career, her talent has been wasted on mediocre material. This is again the problem with some of the tracks on this album, but there are also some really excellent songs here, which show Bethânia at her very best. Vanessa da ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $4.98!

14 view cover	Canta Brasil (2002) more music like this by Kenny Barron & Trio da Paz This release combines the elegant swing of nine-time Grammy-winner Kenny Barron with the first-call Brazilian rhythm section of Trio da Paz, an inspired cross fertilization that enhances both jazz and tropical elements. From the opening "Zumbi," which rolls in like a Carnaval parade, to the infectious closer, "This One," the CD is full of light. ... see all copies from $7.52! new only from $14.93!
15 view cover	Aldeia (1997) more music like this by Banda Mantiqueira Brazilian musicians always had a crush on Brazilian-sounding big bands. Unfortunately, there's always the logistic pressure: they are overly expensive. Also, there are the commercial considerations: people usually prefer jazzy arrangements over a true Brazilian sound. Banda Mantiqueira's Aldeia is a happy experience of a genuinely Brazilian big ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $14.92!
16	Os Meninos Do Brasil (1998) more music like this by Chitaozinho & Xororo see all copies from $16.13! new only from $37.39!
17 view cover	Choros from Bahia (1994) more music like this by Fred Dantas & Ailton Reiner Choro is not a major part of the contemporary scene, but this old brass-band-plus-guitars and percussion tradition, which is sometimes compared to and certainly influenced by jazz, lies at the heart of Brazilian urban music. While it has its own repertoire, modern choro is a branch of the general popular scene, light, mellow, elegant and fairly ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $13.30!
18 view cover	Eu Sou Todos Nos (1999) more music like this by Ze Ramalho see all copies from $17.77! new only from $30.39!
19 view cover	Mares Profundos (2003) more music like this by Virginia Rodrigues Brazilian contralto and Caetano Veloso protégé takes a conceptual route on her third record -- her first for the Deutsche Grammophon label -- and delivers one of the most engaging albums of the year. She focuses her otherworldly voice -- a delicious stew that's part Amalia Rodrigues, part Odetta, and all bliss -- on the legendary Afro-sambas of ... see all copies from $4.67! new only from $13.14!
20 view cover	Valsas Brasilieras (2002) more music like this by Marco Pereira This is a splendid solo collection of 12 Brazilian waltzes by guitarist Marco Pereira, the powerhouse player who most recently graced vocalist Luciana Souza's Grammy-nominated Brazilian Duos CD. Here, Pereira again demonstrates that the best gentleness comes from strength: While the overall feel of Valsas Brasilieras is relaxing and tender, his ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $14.11!
21 view cover	O Samba Pocone (1996) more music like this by Skank Enormously popular in Brazil, Skank plays reggae-tinged rock (or is that rock-tinged reggae?) not unlike that on the earliest records of Elvis Costello & the Attractions or Graham Parker & the Rumour. Not to imply that Skank is on the same songwriting level, but O Samba Pocone did cement the group's mainstream popularity in Brazil with "É Uma ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!

25 view cover	Os Meninos Do Rio (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Made up of several medleys performed by a variety of musicians, Os Meninos do Rio is a collection of Brazilian folk and jazz music. The artists featured here are all quite good, performing nimbly and enthusiastically considering how long they have been playing this sort of music. What this essentially sounds like is a group of friends sitting ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $19.19!
