danfla 5 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 to wake up this forum i think we, brazilians, should introduce our country and culture to the foreigners with topics like this, and others like brazilian sport, brazilian art and etc. Im not a music lover, but i have to agree that brazilian music is the most important part of our culture, with samba, bossa-nova, MPB, choro, pagode, funk, axe, sertanejo, rock, rap, and many others. So i will start with samba and some cool videos. There are many kinds of samba, im not an expert, so i just know a few, samba de raiz, samba de breque, samba-enredo, pagode, samba canção, if there is any expert plz explain better for us. Some nice and very famous singers of samba in Brasil João Gilberto and Caetano Tom Jobim, Vinicius e Toquinho Zeca Pagodinho Martinho da Vila Caetano Veloso singing Noel Rosa music João Nogueira Bezerra da Silva http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHJLyllUzAY Alcione Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danfla 5 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I found a BBC documentary about brazilian music "Samba to Bossa", is not a great documentary, but is nice one. There are only the story of samba and bossa, and they forgot very important icons of brazilian music but would be impossible to have all anyway. There are 7 parts First one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF0DTzkpsHo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DannyelBrazil 703 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 My contribution to this thread, an amazing interpretation of 'Aquarela do Brasil' (in USA this song is known as 'Brazil' only) performed by Daniela Mercury at TV Globo in 2008. http://video.globo.com/Videos/Player/Entre...+BRASIL,00.html Enjoy! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DannyelBrazil 703 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 ah, about the credits on the end of the video, it's because this song was the last on in this special, so the credits started in the end of the music... (I hate this old fashioned credits Globo uses, but, what can we do?) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kenny Shafard 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Nice collection, I must say. I have been listening to Brazilian music for some time but I never really came across such cool collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rols 1900 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Nice collection, I must say. I have been listening to Brazilian music for some time but I never really came across such cool collection. Your link doesn't work - but just as well. It looks like it could be construed as spam. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dinhu4ever 27 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 A personal favorite of mine, Roberta Sá, singing "Cicatrizes" live at Vivo Rio on the day of the DVD Recording. I just love Roberta Sá. Her voice is so mesmerizing! *-* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DannyelBrazil 703 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 My favourite Brazilian artists are Shakira and Enrique Iglasias! LOL... In seven years you'll find others like Ricky Martin and Enrique's father called Julio (LOL!!!!!) The world is still a mistery for some Europeans, even after 500 years of great navigations era (just kidding) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dinhu4ever 27 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Talking about Fruit women, I've read somewhere that Melon/Apple/Strawberry Woman (not sure which one of them) feel in love with a Swiss guy and moved to Switzerland! Boy, that's one fruit our salad will be missing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A girl with 210 Kilos that is dancer for MC Serginho? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, did you see the Big Mac woman (Mulher X-tudão)??? A girl with 210 Kilos that is dancer for MC Serginho? I'm not really sure about how to react to this news, man! I think this trend should end already! XD Have you heard about Provolone Woman? She's named after the appearence of her legs after she ties up her gladiator boots. She ties them really REALLY tight.Now, if you guys excuse me, I just bought the Original Brazilian Cast Recording (OBzCR? XD) of Spring Awakening (which, as I've pointed befored, was sponsored by Rio 2016)and I intend to spend the next hour enjoying its awesomeness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lucas_leobas 6 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 First of all, Sir Roltel seemed to have REALLY liked Watermelon Woman and all the rest of the fruit women. I love how we are getting bizarre versions of it: I just googled Mulher-Xtudão and wow! Great translation, Danny, by the way. Big Mac Woman sounds awesome . But I have bad news: Fruit women is very 2008 right now. Créu had a little revival in October with the whole "Yes we créu" fad, but now it's pretty much gone. "Watermelon Woman", however, is an expression that has gone into our pop culture and I'm pretty sure it'll be remembered for a whole generation, just like "Bootylicious" in America. I haven't been to the beach this summer to capture what are our lattest summer fads. Not that we need to be in the summer to go to the beach But I'll tell you guys as soon as I do it.

FYI 1191 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I wanna hear Samba de Janeiro at the Opening Ceremonies!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Mata 272 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Where are the megalomaniac pernambucanos who didn't posted frevo yet?? Here's a little sample of truly good carnaval music : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DannyelBrazil 703 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 At least the pernambucanos have its original and local way to celebrate their carnaval!!! I love the different way of carnaval celebrations Brazil-wide... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Mata 272 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Sure they have. Maybe the most original carnaval rhythm since Frevo was actually born in Olinda/Recife. Quite dancing IMO. I guess what makes Carnaval in Pernambuco (and Bahia) so interesting is that it's still a celebration of people. And free of charge Rio's sadly lost part of its magic with so many celebrities and commerce involved. Sometimes it doesn't feel spontaneous, which is a pity. Still beautiful though...

I agree and disagree... The commercial side of carnaval is sometimes disguting... But, any big/huge event should go commercial to be profitable and to get known internationally. But I think there are two sides of the Samba Schools parade... The celebrities/advertising/TV side and the favelas/samba schools itself one... The magic is in the parade itself, I think this still have magic and it is the beautiful side of Rio's carnaval. There are tradition, history and passion on it... Yet... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
