Os Mutantes. One of the best South American bands, ever. If there's any way you can buy one of the albums, get "Jardim Elétrico". Not your typical samba, though (fortunately).
I like what I've heard, mostly just bossa nova stuff like Antonio Carlos Jobim and, even if he's American, Stan Getz. Oh, and the Tribalistas, I picked up thier recent album because it got a lot of good press up here and I've really enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone for listing off your picks, I'll definatly check out some of this stuff
I love Os Mutantes' "A divina comedia ou ando meio desligado"! I recommend "Hey boy", "Ave Lucifer" and "Meu refrigerador nao funciona".
