Last November's issue of Wallpaper* focussed on Brazil. There are some good articles and images on the website, including ovo, street artists and architecture:
I'd like to recommend this book, When Brazil was Modern: a guide to architecture 1928-1960, by Lauro Cavalcanti; a good read, well illustrated and smallish portable format.
On Thursday 8 April I attended a Round Table Discussion at The Showroom Gallery in London as part of the ongoing project by Ricardo Basbaum entitled Would you like to participate in an artistic experience?
What can I say? The visit to Brazil far exceeded my expectations, providing me with countless invaluable opportunities that I would otherwise have missed or been unable to access had I been a regular tourist.
Some of the Brazil cohort were interested in music; there is a Brazil Festival on the Southbank, London over the summer and there are some eminent musicians playing: Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethania, Os Mutantes, Tom Ze.
