We all know actors shouldn't play music, but what about musician actors? Join us this week as the list obligatory looks at the best examples of musicians in film. I'm feeling punchy this...
Of course, Say Anything has "In Your Eyes", Goodfellas has "Layla", Apocalypse Now has "The End", Fight Club has "Where Is Your Mind", but a cover song in a movie is just different. A cover song in a movie elevates the drama - ascribing all kinds of meaning and sentiment to the music being played. All of a sudden this song that we're pretty sure we've heard before is chewing the scenery and the actors fade into the background. When the director has two characters listen to Sonic Youth cover The Carpenters, or opens his film with a dusty acoustic [...]

Caetano Veloso is easily one of the most influential figures in Brazilian music and his career which has spanned several decades has been very celebrated. However, it seems 2012, the year he turns 70 , is the year in which his life and career will be celebrated, like never before. Early this year he was named the Latin Grammy personality of the year for 2012 and in October an album dedicated to him will be released. " A tribute to Caetano Veloso " is an album in which both Brazilian and non- brazilian artists perform [...]

Carnival in Rio is something that i have always wanted to do, that day will come when i am not on a shoestring budget living day to day. Some might say its pretty lame not checking it while I'm living on the same continent, But really i wanna do it right. I'm hopefully going to cross the border later in the year and get amongst this amazing and much hyped country and culture. Brazilian Music is such a gigantic ball of twine i wouldn't really no where to start unravelling it. Instead i am going give you my First podcast [...]
O que seria do verão se não fosse aquela vontade de gritar a plenos pulmões que os "dias de cão acabaram"? Por isso mesmo, o Rock 'n' Beats te dá a chance de se juntar a esse coro, com Florence Welch , sua máquina e toda a platéia do festival Summer Soul . Perdeu a edição passada do festival, que trouxe para o Brasil Amy Winehouse , Janelle Monae e Mayer Hawthorne ? Se arrependeu? Então não se arrisque em 2012, e concorra a um ingresso para o braço paulista [...]
I stumbled upon Cícero via the eclecticly-excellent mixtape titled "Is This Indie?", a Brazilian tribute to the Strokes (which you can download for the price of 1 tweet, RECOMMENDED). Artist metaphor: think Seu Jorge and old Nelly Fertado (the folk version). Visual metaphor: a pleasant indie/folk sound, like an audible grin that's just waiting for the sun to return with his post-Movember rainbow-stache. My advice to you, Cícero's entire album is free via the link below, pick it up. If your feeling [...]

The whole world is wondering (or should be wondering): "What's coming out of Rio?" A better question might be, "what hasn't been coming out of Rio?" While the city - Brazil's second largest, after Sao Paulo - does not possess the deep, immediate Afro-Brazilian musical roots one more often associates with Bahia, its music is unmistakably grounded in those same Afro-Portuguese strains that define the country's musical DNA. I could spend a lifetime talking about Bahian genres - really, they're more like the genres of Brazil itself due to the infusion of African strains in its music - [...]
He is without a doubt one of my favorite singers. I’ll never forget the first time I heard the brilliant “ Em Nagoya Eu Vi Eriko ”; it’s one of those mood-changing songs that reverberates through you, its vitality and warmth contagious no matter your current disposition. Seu Jorge’s creativity is legendary, and the multi-faceted artists does it again with his most recent piece of work, Músicas Para o Churrasco Vol. 1. It essentially translates to “Songs for your barbecue” and is exactly what it sounds like: a collection of infectious, high-energy songs with that hard to define Seu Jorge [...]

![[Listen] – Beck & Seu Jorge – “Tropicália” (Mario C 2011 Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3513468_lg.jpg)
Tweet This post is a “QuickPick”. QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it’s still as good as it was a day before then it [...]

Ahh, yes, Life Aquatic ; a fabulous movie filled with witty, dry humor. But what is often overlooked in that film, is Seu Jorge and his amazing acoustic music that is played throughout. Luckily, his musical career didn't end there, as he has gone on to record several albums, one of which is his latest collaboration with his band, Almaz. Along with the album they crafted, the band has been touring across the globe, including São Paulo where they threw down what looks like an epic performance. You can support Seu Jorge & Almaz's self-titled debut on [...]
