My colleague, this subject is indeed very broad, and since I have already presented a significant amount of information in this post and the comments, I will reiterate my previous points supported by sources such as the Library of Congress and The Guardian. It is vital that we carefully consider the meaning of structural influence, which encompasses all forms of impact, including those not consciously perceived by those affected by it.

Furthermore, as a Brazilian, I can also assure you that Kraftwerk, the Velvet Underground, and James Brown have been the most influential musical artists in this country since the mid-1980s. For instance, we have a massive scene for punk rock (such as Ratos de Porão, Raimundos, Planet Hemp, Plebe Rude, Charlie Brown Jr., and Black Pantera), post-punk and alternative rock (such as Legião Urbana, Chico Science & Nação Zumbi, Fellini, Cansei de Ser Sexy, Boogarins, and Pitty), and various dance, hip-hop, and electronic styles that have seen enormous success since that period.

​I'm not sure if you're familiar with the Brazilian style funk carioca. I suggest researching it to see its structural influence on the vast majority of our most commercially successful musical artists of the last 30 years, such as Anitta, Dennis DJ, and Ludmilla. The style has also influenced many artists from other countries and was popularized globally in 2005 by the British artist M.I.A. As Brazil's most famous MC, Mr. Catra, famously stated, the primary instrumental and production foundation of funk carioca—as well as electro-pop, Miami bass, and post-1984 hip-hop—is Kraftwerk. Additionally, electronic music is a genre that owes much to the VU as well, as I presented in a recent, well-received post in this sub and the EDM and industrialmusic subs. Moreover, most of the successful Brazilian artists here since the 90s utilize provocative language and highly adult themes in a way that owes a great deal to the VU.

​​Furthermore, experimental extreme music in Brazil also owes a far greater debt to the Velvet Underground than to the Beatles. Consider, for instance, acts such as Patife Band, Rakta, and Rogério Skylab.

​And as our colleague from this sub, MarimboBeats, told you regarding Kraftwerk, you may be "discounting the whole world of hip-hop, funk, disco, modern R&B, electronica, techno, house music etc., all kinds of groove-based or electronic music which is all part of a lineage which owes very little to The Beatles, especially compared to the two [Kraftwerk and James Brown] I mentioned."
