Nando Reis: Brazilian Pop-Rock

Nando Reis is one more of those guys who left the important band Titãs to continue on a solo career. Now he started calling his own band Os Infernais, so he presents himself as Nando Reis e Os Infernais. He is a better lyricist and composer than a singer, but since at Titãs everyone would sing, he learned enough to perform his own songs. You might like his songs better in the voice of Cássia Eller, though. Below is the video of Por onde andei (where have I walked through).

Ha megfogom az ördögöt - A Hungarian folk tune

This post will be just about one song.
Ha megfogom az ördögöt (If I catch the devil) is an old traditional Hungarian/Gypsy folk tune and I wanna show you three modern adaptions by three bands I really love.

1.)
Besh O Drom very fast powerful tunes. From Hungary


2.)Amorf Ördögök -- Another Hungarian folk/gypsy band


3.)RotFront -- A Berlin-based project (Hungarian/Russian/German)

Here comes more Brazilian music!

Hi readers from everywhere!

My name is Hidson Guimarães, I was born in 1984 and I live in Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais state, in Brazil

Yabba/tobi was too lazy about posting Brazilian artists here, so I decided to take this blog over and start posting some of the richest music in the world.

I'll be trying to post some artists from other countries here and there, as I have a project of my own that covers extensively the foreign music. If you know Portuguese, you can check it out at http://www.invasoesbarbaras.com.br . My main focus will be on Brazilian music, though. Just as a teaser, check out the Brazilian National Anthem recorded on many Brazilian local rythms!
