I don't know a huge amount about the rock scene in Brazil however I know of some great stuff that sneaks out into the great wide open such as:

Funk Como Le Gusta.
A great funk band that integrate traditional elements into their sounds.

Natiruts.

A great roots Reggae band that pay sufficient homage to Jamacia whilst retaining their own cultural identity via original language and apposite lyrics.

Yage.

An experimental electro/dance band that basically jam on a local beach. Setting up a sound system and running DAT tapes through the day creating ambience and a dance infused enviroment for the locals.
