Veloso has been a pioneer of Brazilian pop since 1967, when his debut album sparked one of Brazil's most famous movements in music and politics, the legendary ...

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.

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 ...

For anyone fond of Cibelle's 2003 self-titled debut, a pleasant album of Brazilian downtempo typical of Six Degrees (a trendy worldbeat label based in San Fransisco with a Lonely Planet -like following), The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves is likely to generate a sense of surprise.
