About this release
África Brasil finds Jorge Ben bringing samba and Brazilian songwriting into close contact with funk. The 1976 album contains some of his best-known recordings, from the opening 'Ponta De Lança Africano (Umbabarauma)' to 'Taj Mahal', with the rhythmic energy running throughout its eleven tracks.
The album revisits earlier compositions, including 'Taj Mahal' and 'Zumbi', alongside songs centred on figures such as Xica da Silva and the footballer celebrated in 'Ponta De Lança Africano (Umbabarauma)'. Ben's rhythmic approach ties the varied subjects together. This Future Shock reissue presents the original eleven-track sequence on a single coloured vinyl LP.
