The song at the party

I would like to know the name of the song that plays in a party scene in the first 20 minutes of the movie. The song is in Portuguese and it's like "Sempre assim / Em cima, em cima / Quero ver" It has a kind of techno beat, I suppose. (I'm not an expert, but it sounds like those songs you might hear in raves, I'm not sure.) The scene in question has Theron dancing in a party and Phoenix has to defend her from some bulky guy. If anyone could at least provide the singer/band, I would be very happy. Thanks.

I came to this site looking for the same song. It might have been the best part about the movie.

If you know the language, check the credits. The songs are usually listed in order of play.

I'm Portuguese and I obviously noticed the song while watching the movie. It was a very popular song in clubs a few years ago. It's called "samba de janeiro". Lyrics are Portuguese but it's a song from Brazil (although we speak the same language, it's different in some ways).

This is by all means not the best part in the movie, it's very primitive and repetitive dancing music.

The best part maybe the Ravel-like score when Wahlberg express his regrets to his mother before the party at home, a very elaborated mysterious music bearing all in it.
