I'm partial to Lula Cortes & Ze Ramalho' Paebiru, and the Satwa disc. The 1st 2 Gal Costa records are excellent. Caetano Veloso is consistently pretty interesting but he waxes a bit loungy for me at times, hence my preference for his 1st couple of records & Azul (I think that was the name). Those at least sound like the punch in the lounge was dosed with ayahuasca.

veloso's '69 self-titled is great, the a-side is perfect. "the empty boat" was the track that really got me into tropicalia.

currently listening to fairly cheeseball sub-Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 reissue of an album by D'Angelo (no, not that D'Angelo) - pretty fun and campy. includes a bunch of early Tim Maia covers.

I just had a dream, not long before waking up, that I was reading a Nabisco post in which he mentioned the fact that there was a year when the only instrument used in Brazilian music was the theremin. (I don't think it was said explicitly in the post, but I understood this to be the result of some weird government censorship.)
Read ILM less and I end up dreaming about it. :(

I wonder how popular she is in Brazil?
― curmudgeon, Friday, 21 October 2011 18:13 (1 year ago) Permalink
Pretty sure she is quite popular.
― Cal Jeddah (_Rudipherous_), Friday, 21 October 2011 18:28 (1 year ago) Permalink
Thanks. Not that it matters, I like her anyway, but I was just curious whether her style still reached a large audience there.
― curmudgeon, Friday, 21 October 2011 18:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
Actually, looking at the Brazilian sales figures for her albums on Wikipedia, she doesn't sell very big. She could still be big, but possibly she is a lot less popular than I thought.

Can I pop into this thread to note what a fantastic album the late Suba's Sao Paulo Confessions (2000) is?

MAGA BO - QUILOMBO DO FUTURO
and a remixed version out. He's an American who moved to Brazil. Haven't listened yet but the press release claims
The original tracks united the organic subtleties of the Afro-Brazilian rhythms coco, maculelê, samba, gong and capoeira with the punchy, powerful, electronic based sounds of dub, raga, hip hop and dubstep. Batucada and bass, mids, treble. TUDO. The remixes take the tracks even further….
