Here's a curio. Its by Nouvelle Vague and its a whole pile of post punk/new wave songs done in a laid back Brazilian style. When it works its absolutely tremendous as on Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', PIL's 'This is not a love song', The Cure's 'A Forest' and XTC's 'Making Plans for Nigel'. There's also versions of songs by Depeche Mode, The Specials, The Undertones, Sisters of Mercy and a few others - some hit, some miss but if you like Brazilian music like Astrid Gilberto AND post punk/new wave you're going to love this.
