Album of the Day: Jorge Ben
Jorge Ben - frica Brasil
Not the most pure example of the Brazilian sound (but then what one record can define a whole country?), its energy is still infectious in the most stereotypically Brazilian (read: wonderful) way. Funk, samba, and Musica Popular de Brasileira gets all mashed up into a spectacular presentation that never slows down. Rod Stewart ripped off "Taj Mahal" for "If You Want My Body," but screw it, it's still a great song, as is "Xica Da Silva" and the opener, the bursting "Ponta de Lanca Africano." If you own just one Brazilian record, etc.

Good stuff. I found this album on vinyl a few weeks ago - Not even sure if there is a CD reissue and if there is - its decently hard to get ahold of. - Dont be hatin' on Rod Stewart

I believe the CD reissue just recently went out of print about six months ago. You can still find it on import, and depending on your local store they may have copies left. I'm sure it will come back into print eventually, as I believe it has gone out of print before.

Great pick for album of the day....I have never listened to Jorge Ben before, but now I have to track it down.....Taj Mahal is not to be forgotten either...way to give credit where its due
