Ben, Jorge

Africa Brasil

'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 'Africa 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.
