The music videos below will bring you some light. They have decent English subtitles (and some also include Portuguese subtitles, particularly cool if you are learning the language). In case the subtitles don’t show up on your screen, click  on the CC red button that appears under the screen of certain Youtube clips.

Also, don’t forget to visit my Brazilian music video collection on the right side of this screen. I am always including new stuff.
