Thread: Music recommendations

Hi Guys,

I have just been getting into Brazilian music for the last year or so and I was wondering if you could provide me with a list of albums that I should check out. The only albums that I currently own are compilations such as some of the Gilles Peterson presents, and the soundtrack to City of God.

The genres that I'm really into are Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, Soul and some Drum & Bass. If you could point towards some good music, I would really appreciate it.
