Hi all, i listen to Brazilian music all the time to try and improve my listening skills but i have a problem. I cant seem to find some good Brazilian music to listen to whilst working out in the gym.
I need something motivating. When i was learning Spanish i liked listening to Reggaeton whilst working out, what is the equivalent of Reggaeton from Brazil? so far i have...
Claudia Leitte
Natiruts
Alexandre Pires
Samba and Pigode
and other Portuguese language music like Kizomba
i think you would all agree this isnt like Reggaeton.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
forget Reggaeton, just listen to Angra!!!
Hey Steve, nice to know you are interested in brazilian music. There are a lot of different types of music here but the ones that you will probably be more interested in are
-"Funk" which is a very popular type of music in Rio de Janeiro and that would probably be the closest to reggaeton that you will find. Some of my recomendations include
Naldo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzS61Jennkw Amor de chocolate (although i don't really like funk this is quite nice lol)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_2357245795&feature=iv&src_vid=wzS61Jennkw&v=eyAtzuHc_GQ Caipifruta (this is really close to some types of raggaeton and it makes me wanna dance, idk)
MC Pikeno e Menor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQMXnpOi0WU Toda toda (this song is pretty cool, it even has a dialog in the beginning which is pretty funny because the acting is terrible)
-"Pagode" which is really good but is not so close to raggaeton
Thiaguinho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbUJimd4v5U Caraca, muleke (Neymar is also in the video so...)
Exaltassamba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_vzefyV-4U Tá vendo aquela lua
Turma do pagode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_SXl-ETXRI Lancinho (is funny because they always start their songs yelling their own name like "TURMA DO PAGODE!!")
There are also a few more songs that made a lot of success like
Michel Teló: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogD8UDiMe1g&list=PLzqxfHgVY_9XQrI9syWGGfP58JLtVijjV Humilde residencia
João Bosco e Vinícius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UFEXw-6jCg Chora me liga
Latino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQx3BVpjleg Kuduru (as you can see there are great visual effects in this music video... or not)
I hope you like these songs, if you want any more recomendations feel free to ask
I did not know that the englishman liked this kind of music. hahaha
There is no something exactly similar how Reggaeton here in Brazil. But we have:
FUNK - (Rio de janeiro/São Paulo): http://top10mais.org/top-10-funk-mais-tocados-do-momento/
BREGA - (Recife): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSrhtaGLf70
FORRÓ - (Nordeste do Brasil): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKjUaMK6i0U
Boa diversão! kkk
Hey Steve!
You should take a look at Engenheiros Do Hawaii, Capital Inicial, Paralamas Do Sucesso, Sepultura, Nação Zumbi.. Take a look at these bands and tell me what you think..
Olá! There is a playlist youtube with the best songs for learning Brazilian Portuguese, in a variety of styles and with lyrics. Some of the songs include Jorge Ben Jor (samba), Tom Jobim (bossa nova), Leandro e Leonardo (sertanejo) and others, so it's a good variety of styles.
On this article you can find an activities sheet (the main words in the songs) and this playlist with more details:
