Gil e Jorge is a 1975 album featuring collaboration between Brazilian musicians Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil. The two perform together alongside percussionist Djalma Corrêa on each of the songs, improvising and interacting directly throughout.
The album was released in Brazil under the title “Ogum Xangô” (the names of two Yoruba spirits) with a different cover.
The sound is a melting pot of jazz, samba, and Candomblé ritual music, with a subtle touch of reggae culture. To appreciate this album is to understand the very essence of Brazilian MPB music.
