well to be honest, the problem lies within the economy of brasil
not with the record labels or distrinutors in europe.
there is a very high import tax on all records from outside brasil ,this is something that means record shop owners will only buy what they know will sell , so they are much less likely to take a chance on more underground styles of music and unknown labels etc.
(this tax comes from the old days of rock and roll and hence brasil used to manufacture their own records which made imports expensive guaranteeing that the average punter would by brasilian product. obviously this is a situation that has changed enormously , punters have changed and so have their demands)
also i found many of the staff in brasils record shops to be largely unknowledgable of who is really doing it in the music scene right now , they tended to have a knowledge of more commercial things.
also ordering from the internet is costly as you run into this import taxation problem again , and sometimes your records don't even get into the country, they just dissappear.
brasil still has a third world economy regardless of what you've heard in respect of parties etc and there is some serious corruption and red tape going on there.
we exist outside of that most of the time , but if you ever get caught up in it you'll see how unjust and frustrating it is.

i can see your point lukas i really can but it's not the labels or artists at fault
what needs to happen is this ridiculous tax needs to be lifted to make it feasable for the record shops to start trading like the rest of the world also the government need to realise how much revenue could be genarated from this happening (money for their pockets but at least we get some new tunes!!!)
i know nils from eukatech is trying to start a brasilian shop so that's a start.
but if i were you.
get the brasilian people together on the internet along with as many labels artists and distributors worldwide as you can, and petition the government about the import taxes , bring the prices down or better still have it abolished and then you can enter the real world of fair trade.

that's about all i can suggest.
i'm really sorry but i've been over this so many times before and so far no solution has come.
it could even be worth clubbing together buying a plane ticket and sending someone over to the uk or germany just to buy records.
it's not so crazy , the guys in caracas use to go to new york regularly.

anyway there's no answer to your question except for

yes we care!!!!!

but no there's not a lot we can do!!!
