4.0 out of 5 stars Slick and poppy, but not bad..., January 1, 2002
This review is from: Homo Sapiens (Audio CD)
It's dangerous listening to these later Jorge Ben albums... Why? Because I know I don't like the slick pop sound he had slid into so long ago, but they are still groovalicious and melodic enough for me to get into, in a guilty pleasure kind of way. It's a little like listening to a samba-powered Eddy Grant album -- engaging and even captivating, though I think I'd be a little embarrassed if someone caught me listening to it. Among other guests, this features a member of the rock/ska band, Skank, helping out on vocals. Not bad.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but not groundbreaking, December 5, 2009
This review is from: Homo Sapiens (Audio CD)
I hate to give one of Jorge Ben's releases only 3 stars but when an artist is able to release at least five to seven masterpiece albums in a career, the others will always pale in comparison. This mid-90s offering, and his first for Sony at the time, comes across as too slickly produced and lacks some of the raw energy of his previous releases. I play it occasionally and there a handful of good tracks on it, particulary the single 'Gostosa' and the excellent 'Rabo Preso' - apparently inspired by the Hugh Grant/Divine Brown scandal. If you can look beyond some of the polished synth sounds, this album could be worth a listen.
