70% of what I hear is Prog and the other 30% is basically Brazilian music, especially what we name here as MPB. Smile
 
I also opened this thread 'cause I know there are many people in PA that like Brazilian music and in order not to hijack Chus' thread about Latin Jazz.Embarrassed
 
I'll begin with Djavan singing "Oceano". Enjoy.

Again, the great Djavan, singing "Faltando um pedaço".

This song starts with a pure Northeastern moda soon replaced by a dream-like tune. Smile

That's okay GuigoWink though must admit that the Pablo Milanes entry was a bit awkward considering he has no relation whatsoever with jazz. However you just gave me an idea about opening a Nino Bravo thread (though he's not exactly trova either, don't know how the association with P.L came acrossConfused); but nonetheless he is my favourite spanish pop singer along with Joan Manuel Serrat and Jose Luis Perales.
 
 Anyway here's my grain of sand: Caetano Veloso!!!
 
http://www.albertos.com/bands/GC/Caetano.html
 
Caetano Veloso is one of the most important figures in contemporary Brazilian music. His works, poetic and polemic, are considered true masterpieces. As Caetano says, "I make my records as a painter would paint his canvas". In fact, he makes every melody he sings sound luminous and newly discovered.

Caetano Veloso was born in a small town in the northern state of Bahia in 1942. Soon after his family moved to Salvador, where he spent his youth and studied at the University of Arts.

At the end of 1966 he accompanied his sister Maria Bethania, who had been invited to play at a musical play, to Rio do Janeiro and he got his first hits when his sister recorded his first compositions. Soon he won several prizes and recorded his first album with Gal Costa "Domingo"

In 1968, with Gilberto Gil, he was one of the primary architects of Tropicalismo, a cultural movement whose aim was the reevaluation of traditional Brazilian music and the incorporation of non-Brazilian musical styles. He recorded his first individual album Caetano Veloso and his music crossed the borders with his controverted music E Proibido Proibir. He was awarded several prizes at several TV Festivals.

In 1969 he performed with Gilberto Gil at Castro Alves Theater in Salvador and the concert was recorded live. Barra 69 was the album. However in the same year Caetano and Gil were forced to leave the country by the military regime and went to live in London. There, they soaked up the era's psychedelic rock while sending songs back to Brazil to be recorded by singers like Gal Costa, Maria Bethania, Elis Regina, Roberto Carlos. He recorded his first album in English and performed in several European cities.

He returned to Brazil in 1972 and his audience continued to grow. Another album Transa was released and he performed in several cities and other album was recorded alive, this time with Chico Buarque: caetano e Chico Juntos a ao Vivo.

Several albums were released the following years: Araca Azul in 1974, Temporada de Verao in 1974, Joia and Qualquer Coisa in 1975.

In 1976 he teamed up with Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa and Maria Bethania toured Brazil under the name of Doces Barbaros, An album and a film were released.

Bicho was released in 1977 and the hot rhythm of the sweet melodies of this album had the influence of the contact he had with the Nigerian culture, where he had been months before. The same year Alegria, Alegria was published, a book which is a collection of articles and poems of the years 1965 to 1976.

During the 1970's and 80's his music reasserted its sinuous, harmonically sophisticated tunefulness after his flirtation with blunt rock-and-roll, while his lyrics grew more associative and imagistic, blending an embracing romanticism with glimpses of stark clarity. The albums released were: Muito in 1978, Maria Bethania & Caetano Veloso in 1978, Cinema Transcendental in 1979, Outras Palavras in 1981, Cores Nomes in l982, Uns in 1983, Velo in 1984, Totalmente Demais in 1986 and Caetano in 1987.

Estrangeiro released in 1989, is a natural follow up to what he had been doing all along in Brazil, mixing of old fashioned Brazilian and South American things with new rock and new Brazilian things mostly Bossa Nova.

Caetano Veloso, his first U S album released in 1987, was a selection of his songs from the two previous decades. Backed only by his own acoustic guitar, his voice, tender but sure had the sound of a poet ruminating over his past, examining it with affection and curiosity.

In 1991 a new album was released Circulado. The music which gave name to the album is a poem by a Brazilian concrete poet, Harol do Campos. The cover design was a creation of Caetano, Circulado Vivo, released in l992 is a master piece. Making a story of each song he sings, Michael Jackson's Black or White or Dylan's Jokerman with a practical feeling no one has ever listened, he shifts from bossa-nova to tango tailoring his interpretations with a skill of a genius. The Circulado tour was one of the most important and beautiful concerts he did and became a home-video.

In 1993 was released Tropicalia 2 with Gilberto Gil. A celebration of 25 years of Tropicalia and 30 years of friendship of both genius. A new record, a new book are some of the projects of Caetano this year.

    That's another reason why I opened this thread, JG. I love the song "Yolanda" but wasn't sure where to post it. Embarrassed
     
    Now, there are 2 threads for those who appreciate good non-prog music! Cool
     
    EDIT: Ha, I just saw now the youtube clip... I was there in the theater that day and saw Chico totally astray! LOL

    I have a feeling I had heard that song "Oceano" before.. not sure where (perhaps accidentally on radio). Is it an original Djavan song?

    Sepultura is considered part of the Brazilian music scenario and so they consider themselves. Wink

    I recommend Aquaria that is a band of ultramelodic and symphonic power metal with elements similar of brazilian jazzfusion...ok they mix jazzfusion like zil,marcos ariel etc in percussion,rythms and symphpower metal better than Angra.

    The host is Eduardo Dusek, also a singer and composer. Here he appears with maestro Cesar Camargo Mariano (well, some link with Latin Jazz now? Wink).

    Roots, bloody roots (no, not the Sepultura song)... but the Northeast of Brazil with those lost small cities with blind men playing fiddles waiting for alms!
     
    Alceu Valença and Zé Ramalho with band Ave Sangria (1975) echoing the ghosts of the inner land in "Vou danado pra Catende" (Going to Catende with the devil alongside).
     
    All three (Valença, Ramalho & Ave Sangria) have clearly a room here, if not in folk-prog probably in the experimental section.
     
    A haunting song with the cry of the neglected people.
