Comment:

Brazil may be the fifth-largest country in the world — spanning three time zones, it shares a border with every South American country save Ecuador and Chile — but that hasn’t stopped us from scouring the nation from mountains to seaside to bring you the best of its vast musical riches. Our Brazilian Essentials bursts with traditional favorites like the bossa-nova party-pop of “Mais Que Nada” from Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, but we’ve also included new takes on the tried-and-true — dig Bebel Gilberto’s ’04 version of “Baby,” the much-covered ‘60s classic by Brazilian hero Caetano Veloso — and new-direction sounds like a gorgeous “Depois Do Sonha” from jazz violão virtuoso Guinga. From the jazz bossa “Desafinado” from Joao Gilberto & Stan Getz, to the electronica smoothie of Céu and “Lenda,” it’s the best of Brazil in one easy tour.
