Samba Music

[Stuart1973]

I am looking for a piece of Samba music that is catchy and modern...

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Oooh - good one, MQ! Do your kids know how cool you are?

"Hey Mama" by the Black Eyed Peas is another fun one.

One does. The other is thinking I have no business listening to Green Day!

*snerk* The other one will appreciate you more in a couple of years though.

Rupee - Tempted to Touch would work out well.

That's what my mother keeps threatening too. I keep saying she's too stubborn to let anybody to it for her.

I think this is where we end the hijack *LOL*

A number of Sean Paul's songs are Sambas (Get Busy, Give It Up To Me, etc.). And don't forget Shakira.

Maracatudo by Sergio Mendes is very sizzling and sexy (Dmitry and Natalie danced to this on "So You Think You Can Dance")

Sergio Mendes featuring Black Eye Peas Mas Que Nada is absolutely the perfect song. I just bought this video dvd last month that has only dance videos. On it was this song. Before this dvd, I had never even heard of Sergio Mendes. But after listening to him with the Black Eye Peas, I AM HOOKED.

Here's the link so that you can listen to the song yourself and decide.

Apparently, Sergio Mendes has another song that's almost as good featuring Erykad Baduh and Will.I.Am (from Black Eye Peas) called "That Heat". I'm going out to buy the cd this weekend.

Another note: his song, Mas Que Nada, is used in many of the Brazillian NIKE commercials featuring their national soccer team.
