Help with music from Brazil, Sweden, Chile, and Germany

^So, Claudia is a joke mostly because she tends to get everything wrong.

She first appeared on a band called Babado Novo, and once she went solo, her image was heavily manufaturated after Ivete's (even to this day, some people believe Exttravaza is an Ivete song). The thing is, it's not easy to be Ivete. She is known for being funny, smart and to improvise a lot... So, for example, an Ivete interview will most likely be filled with jokes and funny remarks and she turning the tables on the interviewer if the questions start getting off limits. And she feels kinda natural most of time, cursing and talking shit on a way most people would do on her place.

Claudia tries doing that and the result seens mostly fake and forced. She will tell a joke on the worst moment possible and will laught alone. She will interrupt a group interview to make a tong-in-cheek remark on a crucial point of someone else's answer, etc.

To illustrate it better, 2 occasions where she didn't know she should shut the fuck up:

1 - A DRAG QUEEN interviewer from a LGBT friendly TV show asked her and her husband during pregnancy how would they react if their child was pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~. They answered that wouldn't happen because their children would be well raised. The thing is, as any other pop diva, a good part of her fanbase is made of gay men, what makes her statement really dumb, and even if it happened more than 5 years ago she still trying to recover her image as a gay friendly artist.

2 - She was part of the line-up for the Rock in Rio festival in 2011. As everywhere else in the world, rockers are the most biased music fanbase, and brazilian rockers hate regional genres, so, she (and everyone else that wasn't a rock act) was bashed during the announcements. To makes things worst, her concert was pretty bad... She tried to add rock covers to her setlist in order to get some rock cred, but the rest of the lineup for that day was Rihanna, Katy Perry and Elton John, so... She also tried to add props and special effects, and the final result was attrocious:
(please, watch this entirelly )


She was booed and destroyed on social media and by music critics, so, how does she react? She says brazilian rockers are like nazis (yeap, she went there) and that people were putting bad singers (there too) like Rihanna and Katy Perry over her just because they are american. She wasn't envited to the festival anymore.

Funny enough, one week later Ivete (that was also being bashed before hand, even more than Cláudia as she is a bigger name) performed at the festival and end ended up being considered by the public and the critics (even those who usually bash her) as one of the top performers of that year. Music critics even said she should have performed last and closed her day in Shakira's place, so, the problem wasn't really nazism.

About Bossa Nova, the genre isn't big over here aside from the legendary acts... But There are new acts that sells mostly overseas. Didn't put them because they aren't relevant over here, but if you wanna something to listen...:

Bebel Gilberto (João Gilberto's daughter)


Cibelle (she is brazillian, but sings in english mostly... she isn't entirelly bossa nova, but is heavily influenced)

Oh, we also have a big Rap scene... I didn't post it over here because I believe rap loses a lot of it's appeal if you can't understand the lyrics... But if you want I can post some rap songs too.^^
