@@rokzakrajsek9864 well, I'd definitely recommend samba and bossa nova for the 'pure brazilian' sound. Tom Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes, Elis Regina, João Gilberto, Baden Powell, those are bossa legends. As for the samba classics, I'd recommend Demônios da Garoa, Adoniran Barbosa, Bezerra da Silva, Martinho da Vila. MPB, another very popular genre in Brazil, its biggest names are Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, Milton Nascimento. Tim Maia explored samba, funk, soul and rock in his songs. Djavan is one of my favorites with his funk/soul. If you're into rock, Brazil produced lots of psychedelic rock artists during the tropicalia movement. Os Mutantes is probably our biggest name, but I really like how Novos Baianos threw our brazilian sounds (samba, choro, bossa nova and etc) into a psychedelic rock outfit with beautiful eletric guitars (listen to one of these: Mistérios do Planeta, Dê um Rolê, A Menina Dança or 29 Beijos). Honestly, I'd say that this psychedelic brazilian rock is one of my favorite brazilian genres. For one of our very traditional and popular genres, choro, definitely listen to our maestro Pixinguinha, a legend. Although I'm not too much into it, axé is also a very popular genre, along with our 'funk' (which is a very bass-heavy electronic simple genre mostly based on samples, and it has nothing to do with the american funk). There are also lots of modern artists that incorporate our music in other international genres. Hope it helps!

@@rokzakrajsek9864 Antonio up there did give you a lot, so I'll try to reinforce the ones I think are the most importat of his list, and give you just a few more option on the rock spectrum. Starting by the rock genres, Mutantes are indeed very important; other stuff I'd recomend is: Secos & Molhados - which has a man singing, and you'll know why this is important as soon as you hit play; from the 80's and 90's, you should give a chance to Paralamas do Sucesso, Engenheiros do Hawaii, Legião Urbana, and Lobão. Lobão's "MTV Acoustic" is my favorite acoustic ever. Into the 2000's, Cachorro Grande is kind of off-mainstream, but they play a great hard rock. For heavier stuff: Ratos de Porão are considered the first hardcore band worldwide. We also have Sepultura in the thrash-metal thing - I don't even like the style and still recognize their work is superb. Finally, if you're into melodic metal, Angra and Shamaan are very good and quite known overseas. ____ For the bossa nova, Tom Jobim and João Gilberto are indeed, and Elis Regina is the most famous singer in here, I guess. Demonios da Garoa are the kings of classic samba, with tens of the most popular songs of the style. On the MPB list, Chico Buarque would be my favorite pick, particularly his album "Construção".

Brazilians don't realize it, but we listen to his legacy on every day life. And João Gilberto is underrated, because he is one of the best jazz guitar players to ever walk the earth, he had perfect pitch on a serious Sayajin level and developed this "thumb/bass drum-fingers 234/snare bossa nova way of playing" all by himself in two days. Sorry about the big comment, but bossa nova is the genre of my life.

I think another way to think of that Dmin7-E7-Emin7b5-A7-Dmin7 progression is that D minor is your home country and youre moving to A major (or mixolydian or phyrigian dominant because its an A7 that the secondary dominant E7 resolves to), but while you're living there you eat at a D minor restaurant and have some Emin7b5 which reminds you of D minor and makes the journey back (Emin7b5-A7-Dmin7 being a ii-V-i to D) a lot easier.

Another fun little reason that could theoretically justify that Bb-6 to Dm is a combination of two concepts I'm particularly fascinated by: negative harmony and substitute dominants from the octatonic scale. In short, the negative of the V7 in any key is the iv-6, and a substitute dominant from octatonic is any dominant (or in this case negative dominant, the minor 6) a minor third from the root of the starting chord. In the key of D, the negative of A7 is G-6, which then gets substituted up a minor third to get Bb-6.

@@BenLevin First I love your stuff here. Regarding the Bb-6, it could also be the minor IV (Gmin) resolving to Dmin as a plagiale cadence. Or just a modal mixture to Bb minor as we go to Dmajor in the second part.. I think the very best way to understand Jobim's work is to take the original partition and listen to the MELODY not the Real Book version. Because Real Book tries to put V to I chords everywhere. Jobim was much involved in Chopin's music that in the real book. Also You can analyze the song thinking about the "melodic" function the IV chord in song writing or blues wlith modal inter change (major minor). So we have Gmaj7 going to Gmin7 in Dmajor scales (same stuff in Billy Joel's Just the way you are song), Thanks again Ben for your work and music

Thanks for the clip. I really like your choice of songs and am grateful for you bringing it to my attention. I may have to put it on that long list of tunes I am learning. Your voicings and movement sounded delicious. Around 11:14, where you are looking at the movement from F#-7 to F dim7 to E-7, I find myself thinking of a chord scales progression a friend showed me. It had the usual chords for every note in the scale and in-between those (the dissonant out of key root notes) this guitarist used a diminished chord so each of the twelve notes had a chord. Is there a name for that? Could that be another way of looking at this movement? I am curious about chordal scales and enjoy learning about more about how people look at chord movements from that perspective. In my earlier comment... I felt compelled to use the M roman numeral for the momentary and swiftly passing joy of being the slightly significant 1000's like. It wasn't a Major thing.
