Jorge Ben 1969 (LP)

€ 25,00

2025 reissue LP

his album is clearly the start of the samba rock fusion that Jorge Ben, a legend of Brazilian pop, is credited for. Acoustic nylon-string guitar, bass guitar, percussion trio. Basic, authentic elements of Brazilian pop and samba.
Jorge Ben’s creativity is flowing freely here. He gets wise, playful (always), poetic, passionate, spacy and spaced out. The guitar riffs are spectacular and the percussion is authentic samba rock groove. The bass groove on “Take It Easy My Brother Charles” deserves special mention.
It is groovy to the bone (try listening to “Criola”, “Take It Easy My Brother Charles”, “Bebete”, “Pais Tropical” — Brazil’s unofficial national anthem). The album has a good, varied instrumental pallette. Some tracks have tasteful string arrangements with a slightly spacy feel (“Barbarella”, “Sou Um Anjo”), some have piano (“Cadê Tereza”, “Que Pena”), and even flute on “Quem Foi Que Roubou…”
If you get one Jorge Ben album, get this one if you can find it.
A:
1. Criola
2. Domingas
3. Cade Teresa
4. Barbarella
5. Pais Tropical
B:
6. Take It Easy My Brother Charles
7. Descobri Que Eu Sou Um Anjo
8. Bebete Vaobora
9. Quem Foi Que Roubou a Sopeira De Porcelana Chinesa Que a Vovo Ganhou Da Baronesa?
10. Que Pena
11. Charles, Anjo 45
