But without a doubt, the queen of samba-reggae is the Brazilian Daniela Mercury: a rhythmic tsunami engulfing the streets of San Salvador de Bahia:

But things like son, Bossa, reggae, samba-reggae (almost even Jamaican dancehall), here are now a thing of forty and fifty-somethings (like me, heh). The youth, like my niece of only 6 years old, prefer things like "Spanish-Afro-Trap" (or whatever they say...):

Of course: back then there was no such thing as the Dancehall University of Madrid in the video above, and we had to mess around with a radiocassette in the street...:

Good musical taste! You just took me back to my childhood.....(She is Brazilian).
Portuguese? Almost. Spanish. As a gift, some Spanish samba-reggae: "Semilla Negra (Black Seed)":

Pretty sure it's Portuguese though I get to that conclusion not by my own language skills but rather the history, subject and writer of the song.

I listen to a fair amount of bossa nova, for an American anyway.

I cant understand you... Elis Regina is from Porto Alegre (Brazil; sings in Portuguese)), And Radio Futura are from Madrid (Spain; sings in Spanish)...
Another present from Brasil:
