Jorge Ben – Forca Bruta (1970), LP, Reissue

LP reissue from this 1970 album, originally out on Phillips. Totally brilliant. A unique blend of samba and soul, that apparently transformed Brazilian music from the release of this record onwards. Trio Mocoto joins Jorge Ben on this album, and it’s their percussive sound, Jorge’s voice and the light string arrangements that create pure magic… Highly recommended!
