Chico César - Chico César

I am not really into Brazilian music but Chico César is a Brazilian singer/songwriter that does not stop at samba or bossanova alone. He explores the full culture of Brazilian music, past and present with all it's influences, including African rhythms but also rock, R&B, reggae and so on.



For the typical Brazilian rhythms like carioca samba he often goes back to the 60's (the Brazilian area when original lounge music was invented, yes people, lounge is originally from Brazil).

My choice 'Mama Africa' also appears on a Putumayo world music album and they made a nice clip:
