There's an album by Antonio Carlos Jobim - the album with 'The Girl From Ipanema.' That's the most seductive music ever.
There is no point to samba if it doesn't make you smile.
I come from hip hop for sure, and there are basic elements of that, but then I'll take from somewhere else, like samba, and do it with trap drums. I like going places other people haven't gone before.
I have been watching Brazil since I was a little kid.
Latin music is universal.
I'm a big salsa fan!
I was always inspired by Brazilian football growing up. Those huge Nike campaigns, the Jogo Bonito campaigns that had Ronaldinho, that's the beauty of the game that I love.
I love hip-hop, R&B, techno and Latin.
I have dreamed of Brazil all my life. As a child, I had videos of Brazil, of their World Cup wins, of Pele, and of all the big players.
When I say dance music, it's anything that makes me want to dance. It could be Timbaland and Missy Elliott, but it could also be disco music and samba music: It's not relying on melody in the same way; it's more about rhythm.
I sometimes think a movement as rich and wild and incredible as Tropicalismo wouldn't have survived without incredibly catchy music.
I'm drawn to punk. I'm drawn to samba a bit. I don't think there's a type of music I'm not drawn to. Lykke Li I really like. Holy Sons I still can't get enough of.
Joao Gilberto on guitar could read a newspaper and sound good.
I'm like any Brazilian: I like to go out and enjoy myself.
My music is really fun music, with some pan-African and pan-American influences.
I go quite often to David Luiz's house, and Willian usually joins us, as they are close friends. We have a barbecue, play video games, and we cannot live without samba.
Brazilian music has many of the ingredients that I strive for in my own music: Strong melodies and a disciplined but intense rhythmic concept, and interesting harmonies.
Every band had their own distinctive sound, but it was pretty much dancing music and rhythmic music with a tremendous emphasis on copying the Cuban models.
I have to say, I have an affinity for Bossanova. It's very warm-sounding to me - lush and simple. I like that.
For me Brazilian music is the perfect mix of melody and rhythm. It just bubbles rhythmically. If I had to pick just one music style to play if would be Brazilian.
My first memories are of Brazil. There's so much music there. It's one of my favourite places in the world.
The way we do music in Brazil is very different because we are so moved by music; we grow up with that.
My interested in Brazilian music stemmed from wanting to find a musical identity other than the salsa and meringue that I was inundated with in Venezuela as a child.
Latin people love to dance. Nothing is more powerful than a Latin man doing 'Mambo Number 5' by himself.
I like to listen to African music; I like to listen to Brazilian music that's not just Choro. I love to listen to Radiohead, I like to listen to James Brown - any music.
