More stuff /o/
Boogarins: I clicked on an artist's page on spotify just because the image on their avatar was awesome, and I found the sound was awesome too! After some months I heard a familiar song coming from my roommate's room, and he also had discovered this awesome band and now was obsessed for them! I guess they my fit into that neo-psychedelic genre that became really popular in the last few years. This is the song that my roommate kept on listening on repeat for almost a week, and that's why it stuck in my mind as their representative song:

Johnny Hooker: A friend of mine was listening to this amazing song and I thought the singer was the legendary Maria Bethânia, but it was actually a guy. He is another amazing gender fluid kinda artist, but he is different in the sense that he makes clear in his love songs that he is singing about love between two gay guys. However, later on I felt a little bit disappointed because there were many rumours that he is actually a regular heterosexual guy who branded himself for the LGBTQ+ community just to be trending, WTF. Here is one of my favorite songs:

For the reference, Maria Bethânia:

Liniker e os Caramelows: Liniker appeared very recently in the MPB scene, but we can already say that he is one of the best Brazilian artists of the decade. He is another gender fluid artist, but instead of going with only MPB he went for a Soul/American funk (I make this distinction because there is a completely different genre in Brazil called funk, which people outside of Brazil call Carioca funk) influenced sound, which has always been a more "macho" tradition here with Tim Maia, Cassiano and Ed Motta. Here is my favorite song, but you should check all of his band's songs:
