Jorge Ben - Ben

Reissue of his masterpiece from 1972.  This is the album that made Jorge Ben a superstar in Brazil. A lean marvel of rhythmic and melodic concision that contains some of his most indelible, durable songs, like the first version of "Taj Mahal" and his ode to his favourite soccer player, "Fio Maravilha." Peerless Brazilian MPB, out on CD for the first time outside of Brazil, and packaged inside a mini LP sleeve that exactly replicates the original vinyl release.
