Africa Brasil
PHILIPS
ORIGINAL BRAZIL LP

Jorge Ben "Africa Brasil" (Philips, 1976) 
(Produced by Mazola)
(Arrangements by Jorge Ben, Jose Roberto Bertrami & Mazola)
In a word -- WOW. Probably the best funk album ever recorded in Brazil, and certainly a high point in Ben's career. Features the often-anthologized "Umbabarauma" and the super-funky "Xica da Silva," along with 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 song from which Rod Stewart swiped the melody to "If You Think I'm Sexy"... Nevertheless, this is a masterpiece, one of the best Brazilian albums of the '70s, with plenty of heavyweight players on it: Jose Roberto Bertrami on keyboards, Wilson Das Neves and Joaozinho on drums, etc.. Absolutely essential, required listening. (WWW.SLIPCUE.COM)
