Latin Artists who record in Portuguese

[How Do You Do?]

Earlier in her career, Shakira recorded three of her songs, Estoy Aqui, Un Poco De Amor, and Pies Descalzos, Suenos Blancos, in Portuguese to help break into the Brazil market and now she is thinking of recording La Tortura in Portuguese. Do any other Latin artists also record their songs or other songs in Portuguese? ???

This is very cool, love her multi-language talents. "La Tortura" has already hit #1 in Portugal and doing VERY well in Brazil as it is.

Anyways:

Julio Iglesias
Enrique Iglesias
Gloria Estefan
Thalia
Ricky Martin

Italian Artists Who Sing In Both Spanish & Portuguese

Laura Pausini
Andrea Bocelli
Nek
Tiziano Ferro
Eros Ramazotti

Thanks, I'll have to check for some of those artists' portuguese songs.

Yeah, I've only heard Gloria Estefan's Portuguese translations, I think. Portuguese is probably my least favorite of the romance languages. :( Well, I'm not sure about Romanian. The O-Zone track wasn't enough for me to make a judgement of it.

I know Ricky Martin recorded a Portugese version of his first album as a soloist for the Brazilian market. I don't know if he's recorded any songs in Portugese since.

I was going to point out these three too.

When I saw Nelly Furtado live, she sang in Portuguese!

Yeah, a bit of Forca is in Portuguese and in the acoustic version of Powerless she sings a bit in Portuguese.

@griego; I thought Portuguese was meant to be the most erotic language? I haven't really heard enough Portuguese to judge but when we did a bit of Portuguese in Spanish it sounded like singing with a bad lisp.

It's my least favorite of the Romance languages as well.
