Brazilian?

(1/3) > >>

Aimless:
I recently discovered the band Bande do Role (insert accents where appropriate), and decided to use last.fm to find other bands with a similar sound. I didn't really succeed, but I discovered that, for some reason, everything I heard on last.fm tagged with "Brazilian"--and, usually, also "indie"--was absolutely bloody fantastic. So, a heads up to those of you who're looking for new music: check out Brazilian artists :o

This may have been a better post under different circumstances.

Tom:
Do you mean Bonde do Rolê, not Bande do Role?

supersheep:
Em, CSS I guess? They have a fairly similar sound - less 'DIY-ey' or abrasive, but similar booty-shaking amazingness. Although I don't think I'm a fan of the new stuff. And then I guess you could check out baile-funk stuff, I've heard some good bits and pieces in there.

Aimless:
Yes, that's what I've been doing... Bonde do Rolê is the best I've found so far, in that genre :) I had no idea CSS had older stuff, should prolly give that a try. This stuff makes for great party music--great beats an tunes, and few people recognise it =)

the Goat:
There aren't really any other bands that sound like Bonde De Role. That's kind of what makes them special.

The style they're most influenced by is called baile funk (or favela funk, Carioca funk), its sort of like Brazil's indigenous equivalent to hip-hop. Like a lot of dance music, it's deep and little confusing with lots of singles and remixes and relatively little in the way of proper albums. Most of it isn't as scuzzy sounding as Bonde De Role, if that's something you dig.

This might be a good place to start. (A little NSFW).

Also check out Diplo's Mad Decent podcast on itunes.

Have you checked out M.I.A. or Spank Rock yet? They've both got the same kind of mashing style, mixing 8-bit, baile funk and b-more club. If not, you should definitely do.
