If you like Funk, and Soul music you should check out Tim Maia. He did a creative job mixing up Brazilian music (samba and bossa nova) with American black music. He is one of my favorites Brazilian musicians. His voice is also outstanding. Check it out [1] "Sossego": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St7ID7vHHs4 .

"E boa sorte nessa aventura, meu amigo!"
