Top Ten Best Brazilian Singers

Caetano was very important in compiling the African and indigenous heritage of Brazilian music, and he was also significant in the fight for democracy during the Brazilian dictatorship.

He combines everything: a great (eccentric) voice and out-of-the-ordinary songs! He is now the Brazilian éminence grise. One couldn't get around this guy.

I am from Central America and like Caetano like no other Brazilian singer. He puts his emotions into song. He is a great composer and magnificent singer.

If you place Roberto Carlos in the number 12 slot, please correct yourself. Just consider how many records he has sold, how many songs he has written, and how all his concerts are sold out wherever he goes. This year (2014) alone, he sold out all his concerts in the US and Mexico, including Las Vegas MGM Grand. In Brazil, he holds the record for filling up the largest stadium for a concert. On top of all this, he has sold more records than the Beatles or Elvis in Latin America. How dare you place him in the 12th position? He has been the number one singer in Brazil since the sixties, with hit records in every decade since then.

Simply marvelous vocalist, lyricist, and guitar player. Cigano, Fleur de Lis, and Nuvem Negra are among my favorites. I saw him once in New York and fell in love with his music. He was my inspiration for studying Portuguese to understand the words he sings. Great personality. LOVE, love him.

Awesome singer and songwriter. Beautiful tone and guitar playing abilities. I've seen him live and he is the truth!

Tom Jobim was a master. He was a great composer, arranger, and conductor, comparable to Mozart. How can somebody list Jobim and Michael Telo together? For the Lord's sake.

I am splitting hairs. Tom Jobim or Chico Buarque? One or the other, it's hard to make a decision. Both of them define many traits of contemporary Brazilian music.

Just incomparable. His songs have nice, sophisticated chords. He knew what he was doing. After all, he was a conductor.

King of reggae in Brazil! Very nice voice.

Marisa Monte is a huge star in Brazil, known as a very sophisticated singer and songwriter. Her voice, songs, and stage presence are beyond the ordinary. She is amazingly brilliant! She was elected by the French newspaper Le Monde as one of the top 10 best singers in the world.

Marisa Monte is considered the best singer in Brazil!

Marisa always inspires me! She is a great woman and artist. Her voice is extremely beautiful, it touches our souls, and her songs are always very well chosen.

She definitively represents great Brazilian music. How could someone in good mental shape compare Marisa Monte with Michel Telo?

One of the strongest vocalists in history. Her range, both vocally and stylistically, surpasses what most vocalists possess. Although she had the skill of a veteran even as a young adult, she approached her work naturally, like the prodigy she was. While her reputation varies in tales of what she was like to work with, her music showcases a singer who is frequently playful on tracks, often to the point of outright laughter, and who did not take herself too seriously.

Her talent commanded the respect of the best composers of her era. She recorded some of the most creative and memorable versions of classics that came before her and left a trail of classic recordings that artists today still tribute. Her record speaks for itself.

Elis is the greatest.

Renato Russo is the king of rock in Brazil! He is the best composer that Brazil has ever had. His music portrayed the sufferings and joys of all teenagers in Brazil.

Summarizing, he is the great poet of Brazilian music. He died, but his cry is still alive! He will always be in our hearts! Listen at maximum volume.

This amazing singer could reach more than 3 octaves of vocal extension. He could sing softly or powerfully, according to the song. Besides that, he was a poet. He wrote beautiful songs. The best of all!

He's the best singer I have ever heard. I love the song he sings, Ai Se Eu Te Pego. I play that song over and over and never get bored. I love the way he dances too when he is single. I love all the songs he sings because I can feel them in my heart when I hear him sing them. Telo, you're the best.

I love Michel Telo! I kept on playing his music over and over again! From the Philippines... Mabuhay! Mahal kita, Michel Telo!

I think he's a great singer. He has a nice voice and I love the song Ai Se Eu Te Pego. Congratulations, man.

Awesome singer, the true Brazil icon. Do you know what it feels like to have a sold-out Madison Square Garden? So unforgettable 2011 tour! Love you, Ivete.

She's one of Brazil's most popular female singers!

Takes me where no other music can.

The question is "the best Brazilian singer," not "musician" or "songwriter." Those titles surely belong to Tom Jobim and Chico Buarque. But the best singer, without any doubt, is Tim. No one ever matched his voice. He could sing it all: soul, funk, jazz, MPB, Bossa Nova, dance. Miss you, Tim.

A great Brazilian singer who is considered one of the best for being himself. He used and abused his talent.

Tim is just epic. Greatest Brazilian voice of all time. And a rebel soul.

Classic Brazilian bossa nova!

As a woman, I see her as beautiful in her being.

Very powerful voice. She is more than a singer. It seems like the lyrics and the instruments synchronize with her soul. She captured the attention from the beginning to the end.

This woman is the best of all Brazilian female singers by far!

She is so talented and has a unique voice.

I love the sound of her voice. It's unique, and she sings perfectly in tune. She is lyrical and a superb interpreter, with an original interpretation of each song she records. Simply the best!

Her voice is calming and sweet. I wish I could see her in a live concert.
