We think Brazilian music is very good. We have all kinds of music from samba to rock, and our singers and bands are or were perfect.
Unfortunately, a lot of wonderful singers have already passed away like Ellis Regina, Renato Russo, Cássia Eller, Cazuza and others. But today there are a lot of good singers and bands, too, like Maria Rita, Gal Costa, Charlie Brown Jr., Marisa Monte, Marcelo D2, Pitty, and Ivete Sangalo, among others.
You can perfectly see that the examples mentioned above show the diversity of Brazilian music. In Brazil there is samba, forró, axé, rock, pop, etc... And there is also the happiness of the Brazilian people. In a concert in Brazil everybody laughs, shouts, and jumps showing support for the singers. The pleasure of the public is made explicit.
Nowadays teenagers’ favorite kinds of music include hip-hop, rock, pop, surf music and rap. But Brazilian pop music isn't so good because it's sung by Sandy e Junior and other teenage groups which we don't like much.
