From what little I've heard of it, bossa nova doesn't sound half bad to me (in part because I find the Portuguese language is very easy on the ear).
I know it's off-topic, but could you give some examples of your favourites (genres or artists/songs) from Brazil, Convivencia?
I have loads. I love Latin Music. Simon Fuller, the creator of S Club 7 said that Latin Music is loved all around the world. I got interested in Latin American culture through my interest in Islamic Spain and Jewish history. The reason why I wanted to move my muslcal interests in Latin America is to try and be mainstream as possible.
Have you ever listened to Portuguese fado? It seems to be influenced very much by the music of the Moors of the Iberian peninsula. It's not exactly mainstream, but it's popular.
