certain artists from brazil have created my all time favorite music.

In the 'post-bossa nova' era there was this explosion of creativity from all corners, and it all got lumped into "Música popular brasileira" (MPB). The music was sometimes referred to as 'university music' and as an analogy I'd liken it to a whole scene of Donald Fagens all doing radically diferent things—it really wasn't ever a coherent genre, it was a scene were unique voices and singular talents rose ( and composed and produced and performed some of the very best music (IMO) ever. I could gush eternally about the level of creativity and innovation achieved by some of these artists eternally.

 

some names already mentioned:

Milton Nascimento: he and his musical colleagues such as Lo Borges and Toninho Horta were their own type of musical movement, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clube_da_Esquina). here is a clip that I feel portrays the raw talent and brilliance of these musicians:

mind you, Wayne Shorter did a collab album with M. Nascimento.

(those chords...those harmonies...the sensitivity...the subtleness...live...it astounds me)

check out this unbelievably complex and psychedelic and unbelievable composition, 'milagre dos peixes':

undoubtably my favorite era of musicians.
