English term or phrase: Brazilians lovers / passionate by finnish music
A friend of mine asked me this phrase in Finnish.

Is it right if I translate by "Brasilialaiset intohimoiset / rakastavaiset suomalainen musiikilla"??

Paula, you askend "In portuguese, this phrase is like "Música finlandesa amada por brasileiros?""

Não é.

This line is the translation of the original line, and it means exactly "brasileiros apaixonados por música finlandesa"

This line you are now giving ahs a completely different meaning, and it would be in Finnish "brasilialaisten rakastama suomalainen musiikki".

Explanation:
Very colloquial, but especially the younger ones would express it in that easy-going way.

It's difficult to determine the difference between slang and colloquial language, but I would say that this expression is predominantly colloquial:
musa (music) - colloquial
digata (to dig) - more as slang
brassi (Brasilian) - colloquial
