Have you guys heard of the Red Hot Organization‘s newest album, Red Hot + Rio 2? First off, the organization is a non-profit which helps AIDS and HIV organizations all over the world through music. The newest album is a collection of Brazilian songs from the Tropicália movement, with some improvisation and international artists to boot.

The album features a myriad of artists and great songs, so I’ll just post my favorite here for you guys, then you can go off and buy it on iTunes for your listening pleasure + Portuguese learning + Brazilian culturisms.

One of my favorite songs ever, is Leãozinho, by Caetano Veloso. And in the album, the band Beirut , one of my favorite bands, performs it in Portuguese!

Here’s a video on how the lead singer learned to sing the song, and hopefully to inspire you with learning more Portuguese 🙂
