From slipcue.com:
“Wow! What a gorgeous record! Layered, lavish production, mixing '60s psych, blues and Herb Alpert-style pop with killer African percussion and slinky samba rhythms. One of his best, most creative and catchy albums, and worth looking hard for. Apparently, the backing band on this album is the rock-pop outfit, Os Fevers... at least that's the rumor, although this disc sounds much wilder and imaginative than anything I've heard them do elsewhere. In his autobiography, Tropical Truth, Caetano Veloso talks at great length about this album, how it anticipated many of the genre-crossing feats that the tropicalia crowd wanted to try, and how greatly he and Gilberto Gil admired Ben's amazing musical vision.”
Jorge Ben (now known as Jorge Ben Jor) pioneered the funky samba-rock (or samba-soul) style, and represented the Rio wing of Brazil's tropicalia movement. Born to an African mother, Ben embraced African and African-American music -- especially funk and soul -- far more successfully than other tropicalia stars. This, along with the insistent presence of his melodic guitar lines, make his music readily accessible to U.S. listeners.
In the early 1960s, Ben recorded as a samba artist, gaining international reknown as a songwriter when Sergio Mendes covered his song, "Mas Que Nada." Later, along with contemporaries such as Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa, he pioneered the revolutionary "tropicalia" movement, which blended American blues, rock and roll and pop kitsch into the already potent musical stew of Brazilian pop. Later still, Ben became known as the driving force behind Brazil's homegrown funk/soul scene, and was an inspiration for the Black Rio soul scene. Ben's intimate, playful vocals and alluring acoustic guitar give him a unique, seductive sound. Like many other Brazilian MPB artists, his best recordings were made before the late 1970s, although his later commercial pop-rock recordings (and live shows) still have a have that deep, funky groove that can get a party started.
