PopTodd Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 There is a treasure trove of free downloads of some pretty fantastic music from a cadre of new/current artists at these web sites:http://kikodinucci.com.brhttp://www.jucaramarcal.com/downloadshttp://www.passotorto.com.br/site/Downloads.html It's a collective or something, I think -- they all play on each other's records and they all make some pretty fantastic music.Just wanted to give the heads-up for anybody whop might be interested. I've downloaded quite a few, myself, and everything that I've picked up has been good to great. RIYL:Tom ZéBeto VillaresCaetano VelosoTimbaladaGal Costaetc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Radical. I love how much of a Tropicalia expert you are. It seems like one can go really deep. I've mostly stuck to the stuff from that revolution period. I did get way into this contemporary Brazilian band Los Hermanos. Don't let the Spanish name fool you, it's all Portuguese. Ventura and 4 are a pretty seamless blend of indie rock and samba. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It just sounds so different from the usual fare that it's refreshing. And, when I find stuff like this, I like to share, just in case there is anyone else interested.Let me know if you grab any of this... what you think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 You definitely have pulled up some Brasilero stuff that I never heard of. My friends tipped me to Os Mutantes, Ze, Veloso, Costa, and Gilberto Gil. Which seemed like an entire universe, but then it's crazy to see how much more has come out of that amazing country. It kind of reminds me of Nigeria. You find out about Fela and then it happens that there are a dozen other major artists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope that you dig them like I am digging them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
