Strictly speaking this isn't Portugese it's Brazilian so it is at least sung in Portugese if that counts.

I've recently been watching the Walter Presents Brazilian series Magnifica 70 and I became quite intrigued by the theme music so decided to find out a bit more about it.

I discovered that what i assumed was a woman singing was actually a man called Ney Matogrosso. The song is called "Sangue Latino" and was recorded by the band Secos & Molhados in 1973 during the height of Brazil's repressive military dictatorship which is the time in which the series is set.

Here is the song as I first discovered it during the opening credits which demonstrates how understandable my mistake was about the singer. The second video is Secos & Molhados with Ney Matogrosso's fantastically camp performance of the song.

Saw Mariza at a festival last year. As an English person with no concept of fado it was surprisingly enjoyable. If anyone is in Portugal in August I'd highly recommend going to a festa if there's one on nearby, you get big names in Portuguese music playing in small towns events.

I have no Portuguese music in my collection and from the examples above won't be rushing out to get any.

At least it opens up the option of another 26 new threads as we go through all the EU countries for favourite music.

Will probably join in for Dutch music (providing option for singing in English is allowed)

I find Portuguese a really unattractive language to listen to and have no Portuguese music that I am aware of. Am I missing out?

Yes. fado is wonderful stuff, like a European blues. There are some great fado singers around - Mariza is the best know modern fadista - but there are lots of great singers from the past. I love the whole genre, it's something that's unique to Portugal, no other country has such a distinctive style

You could have posted a youtube video to back this up

Spanish flamenco is pretty damn distinctive.

Brazilian Portuguese sounds very different to the Iberian variety, and there's a wealth of great Brazilian music.

Er ... I did.

And someone else posted a Mariza vid

I like it as well, and love the sound of it drifting from houses in old Porto.

I told a Portuguese friend that Brazilians sound like they are dancing with the language whereas the Portuguese sound more like they are chewing it.
