Jorge Ben - Africa Brasil

While many of his Brazilian/Tropicalia contemporaries were adding politics and theatrics to their music, Jorge Ben remained understated and adored by his huge fan base. Africa Brasil, his 1976 samba-funk masterpiece, features Jorge incorporating many styles and musical elements including Afro-Brazilian beats, elliptical basslines, crunchy guitar grooves and vocal chants. 11 tracks including the song which David Byrne chose to lead off his first Brazil Classics compilation: 'Ponta de Lance African (Umbabarauma)', plus 'Xica da Silva', 'O Plebeu', 'O Filosofo', 'Taj Mahal' and many others. Universal. 2007.
