One of the greatest classics of Brazilian popular music, with Jorge Ben mixing funky samba, Afro-Brazilian beats, and crunching guitars. Jorge Ben was the most prominent figure of the samba soul and samba funk scenes of the '70s in Brazil, and África Brasil is probably the most famous of his '70s recordings.
Africa Brasil is a 1976 release by Brazilian artist Jorge Ben. It was Ben’s 14th studio album and a milestone in his career with a switch to electric guitar and funk music leaks.
For África Brasil Ben reworked three of his earlier compositions: “A Princesa e o Plebeu” from Sacundin Ben Samba, “Taj Mahal” from Ben, and “Zumbi” from A Tábua de Esmeralda. The album’s opening track “Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabarauma)”, a song about an African football striker, became a well known soccer-associated track and it was later included on David Byrne’s 1989 compilation Brazil Classics Beleza Tropical, prompting rotation of a video for the track on VH-1.
