 Yamandú Costa & Dominguinhos: Yamandú + Dominguinhos
Sometimes it doesn't take much to produce a fantastic album. Just lock up two outstanding musicians for five days in a recording studio and let things happen. That's what producer José Milton must have thought here. |

Though for many people Samba and Bossa Nova are the most recognizable
Brazilian music form, nothing is more Brazilian than Choro. |

 Moro no Brasil (CD and DVD)
The movie is as eclectic as Brazilian music. Kaurismäki's journey mixes samba with forró and funk. The movie does an excellent job with testimonials and live performances from various artists. |
