Brazilian music. Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, Milton Nascimento, João Donato, Toninho Horta, Yamandu Costa, João Gilberto etc etc. There's a great youtube channel with hundreds of videos of guitarist Nelson Faria chatting and playing music at home with a different Brazilian musician each time, a lot with English captions. https://www.youtube.com/c/umcafelaemcasa/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/umcafelaemcasa/videos

  Going to add Egberto Gismonti to the list as well, my favorite Brazilian musician to listen to, even if not necessarily the most well known.

Check out the lesser known Márcio Farraco's album Ciranda [1]. The title song features Chico. If you like him, you might like another singer-songwriter, Pierre Aderne, too [2]. Both Márcio and Pierre have a French connection, with the former living there and the latter being born there. And if you want to virtually travel to Portugal, check out Antonio Zambujo. Here he is singing a song [3] written by both Márcio and Pierre, as luck would have it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QRdaL3GEiQ&list=OLAK5uy_lCUZLoZsg8xrX0kkdQUXl9YCRpI5s4Sss&index=2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QRdaL3GEiQ&list=OLAK5uy_lCU... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr2qTlFkytk&list=OLAK5uy_n3kwtAlNWUvqYR1HlF6xcMvBISz9tUf80&index=2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr2qTlFkytk&list=OLAK5uy_n3k... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlZcTFBxWVY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlZcTFBxWVY

If you like Funk, and Soul music you should check out Tim Maia. He did a creative job mixing up Brazilian music (samba and bossa nova) with American black music. He is one of my favorites Brazilian musicians. His voice is also outstanding. Check it out [1] "Sossego": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St7ID7vHHs4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St7ID7vHHs4 . [2] "Azul da cor do mar": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9kTV-wpiWk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9kTV-wpiWk "E boa sorte nessa aventura, meu amigo!"

From your website [0] I see you like jazz a lot. So I'd suggest you Egberto Gismonti, a Brazilian musician that released some very good work on the excellent ECM label (same as Jack De Johnette and Keith Jarret). My favorite of his albums are "Sol do Meio Dia" and "Carmo". I'd also recommend the Argentinian Astor Piazzolla, I love the album "Cumbre-Reunion" that he made with Gerry Mulligan.

Have you heard of Hermeto Pascoal? I started listening to him the other day based on this article... https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/the-most-musical-man-in-the-world https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/the-most-musical-man-in-the-... He's pretty incredible!
