Have you guys heard of the Red Hot Organization<\/a>‘s newest album, Red Hot + Rio 2<\/a>? 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 Tropic\u00e1lia<\/em> movement, with some improvisation and international artists to boot.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> for your listening pleasure + Portuguese learning + Brazilian culturisms.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite songs ever, is Le\u00e3ozinho<\/em>, by Caetano Veloso. And in the album, the band Beirut <\/em>, one of my favorite bands, performs it in Portuguese!<\/p>\n

Here’s a video on how the lead singer learned to sing the song, and hopefully to inspire you with learning more Portuguese \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
