Ben, Jorge

Tropical

'Tropical' is Jorge Ben Jor's fifteenth album, a "muscular" mix of previously unreleased material and rearranged covers such as 'Taj Mahal' and 'País Tropical.' The openness to more pop, more western arrangements, foreshadows his future work oriented towards the stereotypical world-dance of the 1980s. 'Tropical' was originally intended for the market outside Brazil, and was not distributed there until 1977. A very fine confirming his immense talent and ability to adapt to the zeitgeist by intelligently breathing new life into "old" tunes that have been listened to over and over again. An era defining recording from Brazil with a unique groove and infectious energy. Comes on yellow vinyl.
