Jorge Ben recorded Negro É Lindo in 1972 as a masterpiece of Brazilian popular music, blending samba, funk, and folk traditions into something entirely his own. His playing and songwriting sit at the crossroads where traditional MPB meets contemporary groove, creating songs that sound fresh fifty years later. This Japanese pressing, released on Philips, has become genuinely scarce—the kind of collectible that serious Brazilian music enthusiasts actively hunt. Ben's guitar work is fluid and inventive, his arrangements sophisticated but never precious. The music swings naturally, driven by rhythms that influenced generations of Brazilian musicians. This is the real deal: a rare, masterful record from a fundamental figure in Brazilian music.
