Name some good music from Brazil w/ femal vocals please

[GentsPreferTS]

I love Brazilian music. I think the style I like is called Samba, but I dont really know for sure. I have an album from Paula Morenelbaum that I have played a million times, and I want more. I used to have some mixes from a Drum and Bass DJ named Marky, who is from Brazil, and he mixed in music from his home country w/ mainstream DnB and it was hot jams.

Move to Brazil for the music, food, and T-girls!

Bebel Gilberto...her music was featured in the movies "Eat, Pray, Love" and "Closer" (both coincidentally with Julia Roberts in them too) ...

cover songs in the style of Bossa Nova

Rock with you by Micheal Jackson in Bossa Nova is really nice.

Paula Morelembaum is more into Brazilian bossa nova style, but is quite good. Marisa Monte is also superb, as she mixes modern and old composers in a fine combination with contemporary arrangements.

There are many female voices, as the so called MPB (in a free translation, Popular Music of Brazil) is fitted for the female singer: Gal Costa, Bebel Gilberto, Marisa Monte, Maria Rita (daughter of the deceased 70´s icon, Elis Regina), Maria Betania and many more. In the modern samba, Mart´nalia is also quite good.
