I recently heard this song "Ave Cruz" by CéU on the Radio 360 podcast and it kills. It's smoking hot Brazilian/Funk/R&B/Afrobeat with sexy vocals and dirty bass lines.
It's so nice to hear some Brazilian music that's not the same smooth A.C. Jobim "Girl From Ipanima".
CNet has my favorite track "Ave Cruz" available for free download.

There's also some really good video on Youtube.

I think it would be easier to find out info if I could actually type the band name... Hopefully they'll come to the US eventually.
