1	Putumayo Presents: Acoustic Brazil (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $6.10! new only from $6.10!
2	Maria Elena, Vol. 1 [1992] (1992) more music like this by Los Indios Tabajaras add to wishlist see all copies from $3.79! new only from $3.79!
3	Maria Elena/Always in My Heart (1997) more music like this by Los Indios Tabajaras add to wishlist 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 $12.51! new only from $12.51!
4	Nos (2000) more music like this by Virginia Rodrigues add to wishlist 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 $2.97!
5	20 Grandes Exitos (2004) more music like this by Los Índios Tabajaras add to wishlist see all copies from $19.23! new only from $19.23!
6	Bom Dia (1998) more music like this by Juarez Moreira add to wishlist Guitarist Juarez Moreira on Bom Dia runs the entire gamut from choro to other basic Brazilian springboards to exploration, such as the simple melodies of toada and distinctive, syncopative style of baiao . This is the first U.S. release of the jazz guitarist and composer native to Minas Gerais, the interior of Brazil. The boundary-crossing ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.31!
7	Sol Negro (1997) more music like this by Virginia Rodrigues add to wishlist 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 $7.96! new only from $7.96!
8	Os Meninos Do Rio (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Mares Profundos (2003) more music like this by Virginia Rodrigues add to wishlist 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 $5.02! new only from $7.15!
10	Café Brasil, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Época de Ouro add to wishlist In the mid-'60s, mandolin virtuoso Jacob Do Bandolim gathered together some of Brazil's finest musicians to form Época de Ouro, and enjoyed a great deal of success with the group until his death in 1969. Época de Ouro disbanded after his passing, but reunited under the leadership of César Faria in 1973 and has survived a rotating membership since. ... see all copies from $8.75! new only from $12.58!
11	Bonfires of São João (2006) more music like this by Forro in the Dark add to wishlist 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 $6.71! new only from $9.21!
12	Maricotinha (2001) more music like this by Maria Bethânia add to wishlist 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 $2.87! new only from $2.87!
13	Paêbirú (1975) more music like this by Lula Côrtes e Ze Ramalho add to wishlist Thanks to cult-creating stories about how nearly all original copies of this Brazilian double-album effort from 1975 were lost in a fire, Paebiru is one of those records that has to overcome a reputation -- it has to actually be good because it's good, not because it's rare. The 2005 re-release on Shadoks gave a chance for that concern to be ... see all copies from $14.24! new only from $14.24!
14	Winds of Brazil (Um Sopro de Brasil) (2006) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Winds of Brazil reproduces highlights of a live concert series called A Brazilian Wind that took place in São Paolo, Brazil, in November 2004. All in all, some 250 musicians from within numerous genres took part in the series, with the 11 representative easy-on-the-ears tracks collected here ranging stylistically from light jazz to semi-classical. ... see all copies from $14.26! new only from $14.26!
15	Essential Guide to Brazil (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $13.44! new only from $13.44!
16	Rarum XI: Selected Recordings (2004) more music like this by Egberto Gismonti add to wishlist Egberto Gismonti's volume in the excellent ECM Rarum series contains material from seven of his ten albums for the label as a leader, none from the 124 recordings on his own label distributed by ECM. It hardly matters. Gismonti is the most enigmatic and mercurial of the artists on the roster. Being from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he has made a life ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
17	Rey del Jaripeo (1999) more music like this by Joan Sebastian add to wishlist see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
18	Babel (1997) more music like this by Pau Brasil add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $3.64!
19	Expresso 2222 (1972) more music like this by Gilberto Gil add to wishlist 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 $17.08! new only from $17.08!
20	A Arte de Chitaozinho & Xororo (2005) more music like this by Chitaozinho & Xororo add to wishlist see all copies from $11.30! new only from $11.30!
21	Lagartixa (2006) more music like this by Tico Da Costa add to wishlist see all copies from $4.80! new only from $4.80!
22	Saracoteando (1999) more music like this by Agua de Moringa add to wishlist Agua de Moringa's second U.S. release captures the passion and sophistication of chorinho. The group's expansive use of native and classical instruments give their Brazilian jazz a spicy, intoxicating flavor. Tracks include "Fon-Fon," "Retalhos" and "Arabiando." ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.04! new only from $15.04!
23	Violas E Cancoes (1999) more music like this by Pena Branca & Xavantinho add to wishlist see all copies from $15.99! new only from $15.99!
24	Brésil: Capoeira, Rites et Invocations (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Capoeira is a physical art originated in Brazil by African slaves, a mystical mixture of martial arts and dance set to vocal chants and slow- to midtempo percussion accompaniment. Capoeira: Rites and Invocations features examples of that accompanying music, providing a fascinating documentation of a unique hybrid of cultures and musical influences ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
25	Écoute Le Brésil: Chants Et Comptines Pour Enfants (2003) more music like this by Teca Calazans add to wishlist see all copies from $19.93! new only from $19.93!
