A statement of the obvious: Brazilian music is a big part of life here at Kартошка 167. I'm sure that we all have our own idea of what the greatest recordings are. In October 2007 Rolling Stone Brasil published a list of the top 100 Brazilian LPs- a good reference list to check off your collection against or maybe as a guide as you go through the various blogs devoted to Brazilian music in order to assemble a collection.
I was going to post just a list of the records, but then I got to thinking- wouldn't it be good to compile a list of links to blog pages where you could download these LPs (one of the blogs on the list actually seems to present the entire top 100- but that was not my object- I wanted this to be as much about the international blog community that is devoted to Brazilian music as about the music itself).
Many links are to blog pages in Portuguese - if you don't read Portuguese don't let that put you off- you'll recognize the titles and artist names. You might get a pleasant surprise if you try and read the text- it's not a hard language to read.
The ultimate respect of course to the original authors of the various blogs who ripped the music, uploaded it, created the images and shared their views with the world. Also to the artists themselves.
All the links appear to be safe (according to McAfee) and all were working as of 16.04.10.
So here is the list and the links:
