Ah, I see you've been spreading the word, good work. I've heard some Rodrigo Leão that I quite enjoyed.
Regarding brazilian music, I think that even if it's not discussed that much it gets a lot more attention than portuguese music, so I'll be giving the latter priority in this thread.

Today I'd like to showcase a relatively new portuguese band called Linda Martini:


Those two songs are from their 2006 effort "Olhos de Mongol", an album I recommend. This band seriously impressed me and they deserve - without a shred of doubt - to have a foreign audience.

On a sunnier note, here's a Virgem Suta song:


"Traditional with an edge", I'd say, from their self-titled album.
