"He put the funk into Brazilian pop. Fat, heavily orchestrated arrangements make these two sets incredibly lush. Features "Umbabarauma" (a paen to a goalie, and one of the greatest songs about soccer, ever)and Jorge de Capadocia (well known to fans of Caetano Veloso who has covered it). Originally recorded for MTV Brasil.
Includes subtitles (in english) and chord changes!"
Jorge Ben, America look out, Jorge is the God of Groove.

"If you're a world music fan, and you don't know about Jorge Ben, then get out from under your rock. Jorge Ben Jor is one of Brazil's longest lasting musical icons. In a quote, some years ago, he said something to the extent of: "...I'm an urban and suburban poet, and my beat stays the same...".His melting buter voice, his cool look, impecible guitar rythmn, brilliant songwriting and outstanding leadership makes Jorge Ben Jor one of the leading international musicians. Not many can match this man. Watch the DVD, and you'll see for yourself, how captivating this performance is. --TL"
Great Show!

"Jorge Ben Jor is an icon of Brazilian music and a legend in his country. The sound quality and the total look of the show is great and well worth a look. Ben Jor has three percussionist backing him up throughout the show and they don't miss a beat. There is also a twenty-member string section that sounds absolutely fabulous. Overall, a great show, highlighting a great musician and his music."
