I was listening to this recent comp Brazilian Disco Boogie Sounds and thought there is probably a world of fun records out there that marry Brazilian and soul/disco/boogie sounds - some of the best musics of all time, together they must be even better. My knowledge is super-patchy and mostly based on a couple of compilations and big stars.
The whole "samba soul" (Tim Maia etc) movement is one relevant coordinate:
