Haha
I do dig some Brazilian bands, most of which are independent, though. I must admit I do like Los Hermanos, though, and I have respect for a few others though I'd never listen to.
As far as traditional folk music goes, I'm with you - I only like chorinho as well .
Btw,
I guess he was actually refering to our local bands, not the international ones such as these, Angra, and Shaman. We have so few English-singing bands that we usually exclude them when we're talking about Brazilian music. It's as if they were something else.
That said, Sepultura live is (used to be?) absolutely killer even though I'm not into their style
CSS is as international nowadays as Sepultura and Krisiun. CSS sucks big time, but they're hardly local since they're widely known in Europe (especially London) and some parts of the States.
Yup those bands are brazilian but they don't play brazilian MUSIC.
I don't like them at all.
Thanks for the welcome bro yesterday I sold a marshall cab to a guy from there,he came here by bus(6 hours) and returned(+ 6 hours) with that cab.
Now he's tired but...............................happy
If a band is brazilian, and they play music, even if it's sung in english, it is brazilian music, why not? Angra's Holy Land and Sepultura's Roots are full of Brazilian references...
It's like saying that In Flames, Soilwork, Scar Symmetry and other bands aren't swedish music because they sing in english, they play metal, etc.
