Yeah, and the guy on his knee dressed as El Zorro or something.
It's Chavela Vargas. You'll see, it's Chavela Vargas.

So now I am looking for musicians/singers/composers/songwriters with the last name "Ríos", which is so stupid because it's like looking for Juan Pérez.
So we know it isn't Paula.
Unless @agutierrezb knows something I don't because Paula is very much alive. Wait - @agutierrezb are you saying Paula has left us? Say it ain't so!!

Is there any dude named Philip Castle that's dead and used to play the sitar while reciting poetry?
I'm at a loss...

Yeez, this feels like a funeral...
I'll tell you something to cheer you up: You were in the right path, you just didn't manage to put the right album on that list. One of you got awfully close.

Also it's only day 10. I feel like it's completely okay for us to not have it pinned down 100% so soon. I welcome the mystery!

I’ll throw out the guess of Raul Seixas - Gita.

I’ve never heard of 90% of the names going around. For me, I’m just waiting to hear the answer so I know who to discover.

The latest developments lead me to this one:
Gilberto Gil (1968). Os Mutantes is on this as well.
Played Montreux, record released on Philips. World Music.
For the Poets House clue, track 3 has a writing credit from Torquato Neto, who's a poet. Again, not fully versed in this, just going on web research. Not sure why the Poets House was specifically chosen as the clue though. This needs to be fleshed out.
And this is an artist that was on the list with a different album. Since @agutierrezb mentioned "one of you got awfully close", I reasoned it had to be an artist with a single album guess, so I zeroed in on Gilberto Gil.

Where can I buy these easily in the U.S.?

Yeah, that's a problem. Not easily found here either it seems.

Gilberto Gil is still alive
Yeah, this artist is dead clue is pretty big. All the major players from the Tropicalia scene/era are still alive (Gil, Veloso, Ben, Ze, Costa, all the Os Mutantes). Pretty much all the other prominent Brazilian artists from the era (Buaraque, Erasmo Carlos, Roberto Carlos, Toquinho, Marcos Valle, Arthur Verocai) are still alive as well. Seixas doesn't seem to have available reissues.
This tells me two things: 1. Brazilians are healthy-ass people apparently. 2. It's not looking like a Brazilian artist, at least from that era.

For some reason I keep coming across Paco De Lucia and Camaron de Las islas but I can't make them work for availability or the Poet's House clue. Not sure if Flamenco or Flamenco Nuevo counts as world music but I'm not sure why it wouldn't if MPB does.

I was looking at Paco de Lucia as @agutierrezb seems to be a fan, and it fitted with the first clues, except for the non instrumental part.

This isn’t a guess but in the course of research I read this wiki page and HOLY SHIT! This album pissed off the Nigerian government so much they killed the artist’s mom!! That’s fucked up!!!
