Jorge Ben - Africa Brasil
3 months ago

For me the best album of Brasil!With Africa Brazil, launched in 1976, Jorge Ben it overflew in creativity in way to as many influences, as the touch rock that the guitar gave to the songs. This is a pure Samba Rock!

Summer of international psychedelia

World Cup fever has gotten me all revved up about '60s Brazilian music again. It helped that Brazil finally put on a spectacle today against Japan (why do I even know that?

anyone else seen JB live?
over 3 years ago

I saw him on copacabana beach new years 2002/3...it was so cool to see him live and in front of what must have been millions of brazillians. To them, of course, he's a national (but especially to Rio) icon perhaps what a Paul Simon is to NY...had so much fun at that show: moro, no pais tropical!!!but I didn't hear umabarauma, xica da silva, or any stuff from africa brasil. at least I don't thin...
