Your Favourite Brazilian Music Records
Jul 07, 2011, 23:25
As you all know I'm a guy who like brazilian music a lot, mostly Tropicália (Caetano Veloso is god) psychedelia from the 70s, and so many many mora stuff. I know too that some of you have and listen to some brasilian artists. I'm very interested to know a little more about it. So, thanks!

Some I LOVE are:

Caetano Veloso: Transa (and all the others)
Os Mutantes: first 3 records
Gilberto Gil: Um Banda Um, Extra and Raça Humana
Milton Nascimento: Clube de Esquina, Jorney To Dawn
Gal Costa: her first 4 records and Índia

My Top 10:

Gilberto Gil & Jorge Ben - Ogum Xangô
Caetano Veloso - Jóia (Some of the most earthy pop music you're ever likely to hear)
Joyce & Nelson Ângelo - Nelson Ângelo e Joyce (Haunting harmonic psyche-folk perfection)
Tom Zé - Todos os Olhos
Gilberto Gil - Gilberto Gil (the one with all the fuzzy electric guitar licks)
Marcos Valle - Previsão do Tempo (Summery moog music)
Os Mutantes - A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado (I've played the debut to death so until I re-discover it this is my fave of theirs)
Gal Costa - Gal (Sexy harpy screaming with some more awesome fuzzy guitar)
Baden Powell & Vinícius de Moraes - Os Afro Sambas
Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho - Paêbirú (Everyone here with psychedelia in their veins should hear this)


Underrated:

Edu Lobo - Edu Lôbo (I think Brazilians found naming albums a bit of a chore)
V.A. - Posicoes
Alceu Valença & Geraldo Azevedo - Alceu Valença & Geraldo Azevedo
Alceu Valença - Molhado de Suor
Walter Franco - Ou Não
Paulinho da Viola - Foi Um Rio que Passou em Minha Vid
Bola Sete - Ocean Memories

I doubt if i'd evn be posting here if it wasn't for you and LMan so thanks for turning me onto some of this great music in the first place. My choices are a bit obvious, mind...


OS MUTANTES - just about everything
V/A - Ou Panis et Circensis
GAL COSTA - s/t and Gal
CAETANO VELOSO - s/t ( 1969 white album )
MODULO 1000 - Nao Fale Con Parades
OS HAIXINS - s/t
OS BRAZOES - s/t ( Gal's backing band )
LULA CORTES & ZE RAMALHO - Paebiru
SOM IMAGINARIO - s/t ( Milton Nascimento's backing band IIRC )

Edit - The Tropicalia compilation released on Soul Jazz a few years back was a major eye opener too.

Guess i like the stuff from the late 60's and early 70's.

Coincidentally, i'm at work at the moment and found some CDR's from your goodself last night when tidying up my locker so i'm listening to...

OS NOVOS BAIANOS - Acabou Chorare

... as i type.

And a couple more from MILTON NASCIMENTO ( Milagre dos Peixes studio and live ) for later. Thankfully my colleague has wide ranging tastes !

Cheers mate :-)

I'll have to have a think about posting a longer list, but this one would be my favourite, hands down.

Not much to add what's been mentioned. Sergio Mendes might be a bit cheesy but if you are in the mood....

Other one, if you like early electroacoustic with nods to GRM, Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry etc:

Jorge Antunes - 'Savage Sounds. Early Brazillian Electronic Music 1961-1970'

Good piece on it here:
