Recommended Brazilian artists: Popular international singers and singer-songwriters

This might be sudden, but when you hear “Brazilian music,” what kind of songs come to mind?

I imagine many of you think of bossa nova or samba, right?

Those genres are certainly popular in Brazil, but in fact, reggaeton-style tracks are also hugely popular.

And not just any reggaeton—they often incorporate elements of samba.

What’s more, Black music like R&B and slow jams has evolved in its own unique way there, so be sure to read to the end!
