Listened again to Brazilian Carlinhos Brown's latest (on Spotify)-- it's uneven. Some songs start strongly with Carnival like drumming and then change gears; others use guest vocalists including kids; there are ballads that work and some that incorporate too much melodramatic American pop-rock movie flavor

Cleaned up playlist and added some 100+ tracks; mostly via these year-end roundups but plenty of stuff just switched onto the service over time. It's finalized for the year.
