Juçara Marçal of the 80s Vanguarda Paulista has a pretty interesting album Encarnado out. The parts I've heard bit like Sonic Youth playing MPB:

So, Brazilian records ca. 1969-73 are filled with amazing "sunshine pop", Free Design style harmonies, for example this soap opera soundtrack:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppmrjMgoRG0

I can't find any evidence of a direct influence, but intriguingly, the Azymuth guys turn out to be session players on two albums by "Projecto 3" (which is of course a Portuguese version of the name of Enoch Light's label). Surely a coincidence? The title track seems to me to have been ripped of by Tortoise on 'the Bridge at Iguazu Falls', maybe that title is a hint:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2obLyHq3gbE

Brazilian soap opera soundtracks from the 70's often function as great samplers of quality tracks from the era.
