Surely Charles Aznavour has one of the most astonishing voices I ever heard.
Portugal's Fadois a beautiful and sad genre, I enjoy it a lot. I also like folk songs from countries of the extreme orient. Argentina's tango has to be the most beautiful and seductive dance in the world. Spain's flamenco is beautiful too, and it inspired the fandango played in Brazil's southernmost parts. French cabaret music is also awesome.

Brazil is the country who produce the music i love the most,with Vinicius de morales poete and diplomateat the very top.
The best album of his is an live recording in a bar in Argentina-Cafe concert la Fusa-with Toquinio(his all time companion) Maria Crueza and Maria Betania,female singer, each on one of the 2 CDs.This is the purest jewel of Brazilian music to me.I listen to it since the age of 10(my father)and still does,with unfatigable plaisure.
Tom jobin is of obviously of the party with the girl from Ipanema ,but i favour is album wave.A great composer and guitarist but not a very good singer(blaspemy!)
Follow the excellent Joao Gilberto,Baden powel,Jorge Ben,Gilberto Jil,chico buerque de hollanda,...
Our days brazil also produce beautifull work like Bebel gilberto,lenin,Marco Farraco,... bref it's form me the country of music "white in the lyrics and black in the soul"(vinicius)
