While here at Portuguese Blog we like to share the best of classic Brazilian music with our readers, we also like to bring you fresh, new music from emerging artists. So today is one of those days!

Meet Garotas Suecas (Swedish Girls), a Brazilian band that is actually mostly men. Formed in 2005, they won a VMB Award (the Brazilian version of the MTV Video Awards) in 2008, and performed as SXSW this year. They were recently featured on NPR’s First Listen, where you can sample the band’s first full length album, Escaldante Banda, in its entirety. You can also learn more about them on MySpace and in this interview at SXSW.
