Is MPB still a musical genre heard outside Brazil?

[Tsuginami]

This question came to me recently, I usually do some shows in bars and my main genre is Brazilian popular music (MPB), I recently saw some covers by a Portuguese singer called MARO singing some Brazilian "pearls".

Lyrics:

Walk through this door now
And say you love me
You have half an hour
To change my life
Come on, come on
That what you delay
That's what time takes
There's still your perfume around the house
There's still you in the room
'Cause my heart races
When it smells like you
Inside a book
Into the fast night

yes the english music industry is still platforming brazil, but the period where brazillian artists who don't fit the global music paradigm were being platformed is over.

it's mostly covers by people operating in other countries now, like despacito was.

For some reason it seems that Brazilian music is something very "ours", I don't know how to explain it, but it seems to be a bubble where it only has relevance within Brazil

Of course we have exceptions like the incredible Tom Jobim, who recorded "Girl from Ipanema" together with Frank Sinatra, but it still seems like something that has had its time.
