YSI Request! The Vinho Verde party planning continues apace. Who's got some wonderful Portuguese-y music for me? Some classical or jazz guitar, some wifty pop love songs, some obscure traditional ballads or dance songs, some Brazilian bossa nova? I welcome anything you care to donate to the cause! Thanks!

I have a bunch of Brazilian music, not sure it will fit in with your theme. When's the party?

Ooh maybe some Caetano Veloso?

Get the following: Emiliana Torrini (not Portuguese, but perfect regardless)

The Brazilian Girls
"Fado" music compilations

let me cogitate a little more on this. I'll YSI you some stuff I have later.

Mats would be a good resource for this, as would Mosch.

Tropicalia? Baile funk? Afro-Cuban jazz?

Caetano Veloso "Two Naira Fifty Kobo"

I don't have time right now to send any more, but if you like this, it's a double CD, plus I have some other stuff including Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil, and even David Byrne's Brazilian stuff.

I have this Jorge Ben Jor compilation that I pimp every chance I get. I ysi'd the first two songs:
Que Pena
Mas, Que Nada

Here's DJ Nuts' 'Cultura Copia' mix--Brazilian rare-groove, breaks, etc.

I have Paco de Lucia performing Concierto de Aranjuez and Iberia, if you think that would work I'll YSI it. In the meantime, some Bebel Gilberto and Caetano Veloso (a great song featured in the film Habla con Ella).

O Caminho

Cucurrucucu Paloma

Not YSI, and not Portugese, but there's some baile funk from Brazil (of course) here. Or some Brazilian dancehall here.

You folks are fantastico! What an evening I've had listening away to all this groove, rhythm, feathery guitar, and cool cool heat. Thanks for the tips on other artists, too. This is wonderful!
