Salve Jorge!.......2006-06-09

Samba, funk and soul together with spiritual side of Jorge... This is another powerfull example of how great Ben Jor is.

KA-BOOM.......2004-03-16

This deserves a spot on any soul/funk fan's shelf. I had Umbagarrauma on a complilation CD and wanted to hear more. I am familiar with other Brazilian styles and the unrelated Rock en Espanol styles but this one is the king. You can party to it, work out, or just groove to this man's genius in your car. I went through the Starbuck's drive through and the kid said,"who is that." Who says the best funk n soul comes out of America? Buy it you won't regret it.

Jorge Ben's sleek vocals and wah-wah funky style.......2004-01-01

Jorge Ben's sleek vocals and wah-wah funk style applied to samba, latin rhythms and afro-percussion are summary contained in this great album. I, a brazilian fan of black music, do believe in a 'world black music' whose universal conscious jazz also stated long ago, so that now is cheerfully expressed in multicolored palletes of percussions and blues. Jorge Ben also felt the groove as well as Curtis Mayfield did in USA: as Mayfield went through a protestant education, what means 'soul music' in his veins (like Marvin Gaye for example), nevertheless Ben's style is more softly, catholic as old samba can be but wicked as it can be too.

ILoveJorge.......2003-05-06

Musically gorgeous and unique, great rhythm, Jorge's voice is amazing, the album has a lot of musical depth, is uplifting, tropical. It's an amazing work of his!

Bumpin' Brazil.......2003-04-12

...So I throw this thing in my CD player for the first time and instantly I say to myself "I have NO idea what this guy is saying--but Damn! is this funky."

From the ridiculous, syncopated funk of "Ponta de la Africano (Ummbabarumba)" right into the bubbling bassline intro to track #2 "Hermes..." this things from Brazil straight cooks, man.

I'm not exactly a stranger to Brazilian soul music. But if you are, this is a sweet starting point. Best way to sum it up is a cross-pollination of latin smoke, jb funk, island rhythms and African stylings.

The funk flew outta of Brazil in the 70's so if you ain't hip and you're not sure, start with this Jorge Ben album and keep diggin...

Shining Brazilian Diadem !!!.......2005-12-03

this CD was a real "find" as i bought it mostly just to hear Ben's "Violao" 7 nylon string archtop cutaway... what i discovered is a truly beauty-full recording with talented Luciana Souza singing Jobim's "Wave" & "Agua de Beber" as well as a gifted collection of musicians accompanying Ben Sher's great jazz guitar playing as well as a taste-full selection of originals & standards... just a joy to listen to thru & thru with plenty of Brazilian beauty in the vibes of the music !!! the band is outstanding & grooves sooo soul-fully !!! one of my favorite "cruisin' Hawaii in 'da Moonlight" CDs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stop, look, and listen.......2002-08-20

I was told by a guitarist "in the know" to check this CD out. WOW!! The sidemen and vocalist are excellent, but the guitar work is extremely smooth and sophisticated. He's truly amazing - an artist at the top of his game. The only thing better than this CD would be if he could team up with Eliane Elias, like Hall and Evans used to do. But for the time being, this is pretty amazing stuff.

Compilations abound but album recordings must be grabed up when you find them. A terrific album with top notch fidelity as Jorge Ben [Benjor] seamlessly mixes Samba, Afrique percussion, and soulful funk with all the hot trimmings!

TWENTY stars, at least!!.......2002-01-02

AWESOME. This 1976 masterpiece is probably the best funk album ever recorded in Brazil, and one of the best Brazilian pop albums, ever. Period. Features the often-anthologized "Umbabarauma" and the super-funky "Xica da Silva," but also a whole slew of other great tracks, such as the James Brown/Sly Stone inspired "Hermes Trismegisto Escriveu" and other groove-heavy wonders. A couple of songs are too shrill -- less disco flirtations than just plain old pop-funk gone jittery. One such track is an unfortunate remake of "Taj Mahal," the 1974 song is where Rod Stewart swiped the melody to "If You Think I'm Sexy"... Nevertheless, this is a great record... Absolutely essential.

5 Star Thumpasaurus Funk Classic.......2000-05-19

This may well be the funkiest album ever recorded in Brazil (many of you will be unaware, but many great funky records were recorded there in the 70s). Jorge Ben basically started the Rio funk/soul movement, and this relentlessly banging album holds its own with virtually any US funk album of 1976 (and that's obviously saying plenty...). The most familiar track will be "Umbabarauma" as featured on the first David Byrne compilation, but trust me, the funk on this album NEVER LETS UP. Jorge Ben (initials JB!), the funkiest man ever in Brazil! My brother!

Jorge Benjor - Brazilian Sambafunk.......1999-09-03

For the brazilians music fans, Jorge Benjor it's one of the best musicians of black music, that mixed samba, funk, swing, soul, reggae, etc. His best albuns are "Live in Rio - vols 1 e 2", "Africa Brasil". It's a universal music of the heart, soul, body and mind". Marcello Campos - Porto Alegre-RS-Brazil.

kicks all terrestrial anus.......1999-01-07

Jorge ben is the quinteesential kick anus all time star del mundo and the here after, ever after, and then some. If you want the raucous insane infectious sex drive of the latin spirit in your loins then you know why he and I are half black.
