A long-overdue reissue of JB's third album from 1964. Great music, and an affordable price. Take my advice, and snap this puppy up!

This review is from: Ben É Samba Bom (Audio CD)

Before Jorge Ben became the Funkmeister of world music he was a traditional Sambalero. This early work ib very Bossa Nova, featuring a jazzy quintet, Ben's writing [after all he first became famous as a songwriter with hits like Mas Que Nada for Sergio Mendes], and a crooning pop music singing style. It was to be years before he started to make that tangy Brazilian stew so reminisent of a concert mix like Dr. John-Kool and the Gang and Talking Heads. This is more a historical document than it is a particularly Funky recording.
