Luisa Maita and her great band live nicely blended old-school and new school sounds. Looking forward to her next album

Her band had a funky drummer with a kit and a laptop, plus guitarist & bassist who have heard postpunk and funk...

I like this. Reminds me a little of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. These new comps look good too -

Lindsay has found many like-minded musicians in Brazil with which to further his style. When I ask him who he plays with and listens to there, he reels off a long list of bands and artists who inspire him. His current recommendations include Metá Metá, Siba, and the young improv group Chinese Cookie Poets. He also mentions a fascination with a Brazilian dance music called Funk Carioca, and its recent offshoot Rasteirinha.

Retro but modern (I guess. I haven't heardthis yet. Read NY Times review, excerpt below)
There have been echoes of Tropicália in Brazilian pop ever since, and something new that bears its traces is “Tremor Essencial” (Sem Paredes), the third record by Celso Sim, a São Paulo singer-songwriter with a background in theater. (You can hear it at celsosim.com.br.) The record is fast-moving, highly literate, magpie-ish about style and mood, tender and circusy and processional, full of intimacy and electric guitars. It also feels as if it wants to tell a story:
― curmudgeon, Saturday, 30 August 2014 15:22 (ten years ago) link
Finally listening to Celso Sim now (on Spotify). Some of it reminds me of Caetano Veloso. I like the quieter numbers better than the circus-like melodramatic ones.
― curmudgeon, Monday, 8 September 2014 03:03 (ten years ago) link
There's quite a bit of guitar on it. On some songs he repeats the noisy gestures or the circus-like songs so much it can get a tad annoying in an almost prog-rock like way, other times it fits better.

publicist is pitching me on Ana Carolina, Brazilian singer who I have never heard, who is scheduled to play a 1200 seat hall in DC. Read that she collaborated with Seu Jorge once.
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 8 September 2015 17:23 (nine years ago) link
I still haven't checked her music out on Youtube or wherever yet
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 9 September 2015 14:28 (nine years ago) link
Her bio plays up her classic Brazilian critic type influences, but this album on Spotify has more arena pop melodrama than I generally like.
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 9 September 2015 18:40 (nine years ago) link
Tried another album of hers, and it adds some programmed beats, but its still too polished and overdone in a not so enjoyable way. Yep, I know she has a big following in Brazil
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 10 September 2015 12:15 (nine years ago) link
She's doing a NYC gig and others too. But I'm not won over based on my brief listening to 2 albums

More Ava Rocha (2014 is upthread) here's 2015 from her; I think prior ones were credited to she and a band but this one might be considered a solo effort, although there's a band. In the past Arto Lindsay guested on one song, and she/they covered Tim Maia

Same lead guitarist (Kiko Dinucci) features on Juçara Marçal's Encarnado and Elza Soares' A Mulher do Fim do Mundo. See also his work with Juçara Marçal in the group Metá Metá or his other project Passo Torto. Passo Torto's Thiago Fraça with vocalist Ná Ozzetti almost made my EOY ballot (I was the sole voter for Elza, my #8.

Interesting
Rob, youtube searches also turn up lots of the ‘funk putaria’ (literally ‘fornication/prostitution funk’) in addition to funk carioca

yeah I don't know a thing about "Baile de favela" or MC João, except that now that song gets in my head all the time.

Just got back from an incredible trip to Brazil (Rio and Salvador, Bahia). Alas, a connecting flight got cancelled and then our luggage got misplaced on the way there, so We missed a free Romulo Froes gig. But we did hear that MC Joao cut "Baile de favela" everywhere (that Rob mentioned upthread). Mostly a remixed version (the light remix I think its called). Thousands were chanting the words to that in a Carnival bloco parade we attended at Copocabana beach. The song certainly got stuck in our heads.
We saw a late-night Maria Rita gig, a number of bands playing Carnival gigs on various streets, the 2nd night of the Sambadrome event with samba schools composed of 1,000 or so folks, plus the amazing Salvador Campo Grande Carnaval circuit with afro-blocos like Olodum and Ilie Aiye.

That was the winning performance at the Rio Sambadrome-- Manguiera paying tribute to Maria Bethania with a cast of over 4,000 people.
Carnival circuit parade in Salvador is down the street and not in a special stadium. Here's Afro-bloco Ile Aiye
