Years ago I used to listen to a BBC radio programme called "Desert Island Discs" presented by a plummy-voiced Englishman, aptly called Roy Plomley, in which he asked guests to play eight records they would take with them if they were stranded on a desert island.

Just Another Goods, Brazilians DID NOT INVENT !!!!! And imports with heavy imports taxes....if not assembled in Brazil !!!!!
Lets face it, Brazil is certainly not by far, a country with technological innovations that are locally made.
As I said many times, Brazil is a third world country, just good enough to produce cheap basic commodities and steal the IP from everyone with brains !

Just one observation: It's Toquinho and not Toninho for "Aquarela". I could add so many more pieces of music to your list. My desert days wouldn't be boring at all with so many amazing artists.

To whom it may concern and others with similar negative mindset,
My friends,
The interesting point about some comments posted in this site regarding this specific and many other subjects is that they are sometimes blended with a lot of criticism and sarcasm. I fully support the right of those who want to express their opinions but I would like seeing something positive and constructive coming from them as well.
Brazilians (and by the way, EU SOU BRASILEIRO) are very opinioned type of people. We like to discuss and criticize everything from soccer to religion, to politics. However we rarely try to roll over the sleeves and get things done….why? One would say…Oh, because it is not from my business …. that is for the government to figure out ...that is why I pay my taxes for…etc.
So, here goes my two cents piece of advice to all of us….IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, DON’T BREAK IT….IF YOU DON’T KNOW IF IT IS TRUE, DON’T SPREAD IT OUT….IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE INVOLVED, DON’T CRITICIZE… TRY TO SEE THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THE THINGS AND LOOK THE PROBLEM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF WHOM IS TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION, …and by last but certainly not the least, IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE DISCUSSION, CONSIDER AWARDING ALL OF US WITH YOUR SILENCE.
By the way, if you really stand behind your opinions, don’t fear about disclosing your name.
Don’t take it personal … because that is not my intention. That is a cultural problem we (Brazilians in general) must solve if we really want other approaching us as a serious society.
If we want a better country … try to ask yourself what sincerely you have done for that…. I DO IT ALL THE TIME.
My best regards,
Oswaldo Moreira

You're dead right. Don't bother, it's just that sick ch.c that keep with that. Even the music he says brazilians imported and assembled in Brazil! Nobody listens to him anymore. Poor guy...

Oswaldo, I think that piece of advice should be followed not only by Brazilians, but by people everywhere

Parafraseando Josefine Baker eu posso dizer - J'ai deux amour, mon pays and England. Mas por mais que eu goste da Inglaterra eu aind nao encontrei um tipo de musica que me fizesse remotament esquecer a musica brasileira. Alguem se lembra do OSVALDO MONTENEGRO e o som Bandolins? Ou a RITA LEE Rosa Choque, or the sweet Medo de Aviao,do BELCHIOR; E praticamente todas aa musicas do DJAVAN. E puro extase ouvir esses artists especialment em boa compania and de bem com a vida.

As a brazilian, I also recommend "Boca Livre", "Djavan", "Adriana Calcanhoto", "Marisa Monte" always, "Flavio Venturini", "Ivan Lins", "Joyce Moreno", "Marcio Faraco", "Trio Amaranto".
