After Spotify came to Brazil a lot of independent bands had the opportunity to showcase their amazing sounds to people like me, that wanted to find good bands in Brazil but couldn't because there is only shitty Brazilian music being played on the radio and TV
I know Justriiingo would appreciate A LOOOOT this thread if she was here, so if someone know how to contact her please let her know what I'm doing here!
Maybe Linnéa (from the now dead shiinaringo.se) would also appreciate O.o
Banda do Mar is Mallu Magalhães (great in her solo work) and her now husband Marcelo Camelo (vocal/guitar and one of the main composers of Los Hermanos, arguably the best brazilian band from the last years). The two of them manage to unite the best characteristics of their music in only one project, it's a shame they've only released one album so far.

Ricardo Ravel: this guy lived in the same city as me for years and I didn't know about him O____O nobody knows about him but his songs are great! It's a shame you guys don't understand portuguese, his lyrics are good too, especially this one

Soulvenir: These guys look like a heavy metal band with rastafari hair, but they sound completely opposite to it. I don't know if they changed their looks already, but it seems they've released a video clip from one of my favorite tracks. Oh, and they sing in english
