Brazilian soul/disco/boogie

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:

Gilberto Gil made some great (and I think underrated) music in the early 80s:

That Pete Dunaway song is fab. I could listen to it on an hour loop.
