(Part 2) Best brazilian music according to redditors

Midomi identified the 1st one as Touched by the Sky by Criara. I can't find it on YouTube, but you can listen to a sample on Amazon's page, it does sound pretty similar.

Edit: No luck on the 2nd, either from Midomi or Google :(

I always love and recommend the Rough Guide series. I have not personally listened to the Brazil one, but I have loved all of the ones I have heard.

I'm a huge fan of the Messthetics series (and the other hyped2death compilations, like Homework and Teenline). I haven't met too many people who are also into them! At least half of my 7'' record collection I bought from the guy who runs the label, too.

Nao Wave: Brazilian Post Punk and the Soul Jazz comp The Sexual Life of the Savages

Strange Passion: Explorations in Irish Post Punk DIY and Electronic Music

Fame: Jon Savage's Secret History of Post Punk

Minimal Wave Tapes 1 and 2

Perfect Unpop: Peel Show Hits and Long Lost Lo-Fi Favourites

Rough Trade Shops Post Punk 01 - I had to add this one because it was the compilation that introduced me to everything, ten years ago.

Scared To Get Happy: A Story of Indie Pop 1980-1989 - technically an indie pop compilation, but there's a lot of material that should be interesting to a post punk fan (Wild Swans, Josef K, bIG fLAME, Nightingales)

I'll add more as I think of them! I have a ridiculous amount of post punk compilations lying around.

Getz/Gilberto

The Astrud Gilberto Album

the Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim

These contain favorites of mine like Agua De Beber, How Insensitive, Surfboard and Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars).

Why yes, I am a bot. I've been requested to comment in this subreddit.
Please let me know if I made a mistake!

Off the top of my head, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman.

Edit: added the following:

Astor Piazzolla - Tango: Zero Hour

Chico Pinheiro

There's an album called Guess I'm Dumb that I've been listening to recently that has some worthy covers on it. Worth checking out.

Woman On Top. Love this album eversomuch. Never (ever!) get tired of listening to it.

Same here. Here are a few albums that are near impossible to not enjoy:

• The Indestructible Beat of Soweto (South African pop music from before Apartheid ended)
  
  
• Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo (more traditional - no instruments except their harmonized voices)
  
  
• Tibet, Tibet by Yungchen Lhamo (the most gripping vocals you've never heard)
  
  
• Brazil Classics 4: The Best of Tom Zé (experimental psychedelic Brazilian pop)
  
  Some other classic Brazilian albums that I haven't listened to entirely but have heard a few songs are:
  
  
• Gal Costa by Gal Costa (sample)
  
  
• Jorge Ben (1969) by Jorge Ben (sample)
  
  
• Clube de Esquina by Milton Nascimento (sample)
