cyromadeu, Good to have you here.
Maybe score me some real bossa nova??
Good luck with your upgrades.

Hi...welcom to AK....i am also kind of newby.
Visited Brasil two years ago......and fell in love with it.
Can you tell me...is there an audio scene in Brasil? (i mean clubs, shops etc.)

Hi zman. youtube for Tom Jobim, Zimbo Trio, Milton Banana Trio, João Gilberto (very idiosyncratic: love him or hate him!), Os Cariocas, Vitor Assis Brasil, Luis Carlos Vinhas, Nara Leão, Hermeto Pascoal (not bossa nova, experimental, a nondescript musical wizard). Enjoy!

I will check them out on you tube. I am showing my age but what I enjoy are artist like Baden Powell , Paulinho da costa , Tamba Trio and more.
Of course I do enjoy walter wanderly ,antonio carlos jobim and others. many of their albums made it here to the US, but it is the "big in brazil" ones that I enjoy most.
it is a most intoxicating music.
Thanks

linked to the "sertão" (deep northteast) popular culture faraway influenced by the moresque culture brought by our Iberian colonizer ...
That would be us, the Portuguese.
The moors ( arabs) in turn, occupied a great part of the Iberian penninsula for over seven centuries, so it is little wonder our culture shows deep arabic influences.
