I've been listening to Jorge Ben Jor a lot the last couple of days. He's my favourite singer from Brazil, and for you gringos that don't know him, here are a few of his best songs. I haven't even included his most famous hits - País Tropical, Taj Mahal, or Mas Que Nada (made famous by Sergio Mendes). He's been making music since the 60's, so there's a lot to choose from. His music represents everything positive about Brazil, more than any other singer, in my opinion. Not only the sound, but the lyrics and the things he sings about.
Por isso, sem preconceitos eu canto,
Eu canto a fantasia,
Eu canto o amor, eu canto a alegria,
Eu canto a fé, eu canto a paz,
Eu canto a sugestão,
Eu canto na madrugada...
Por isso, sem preconceitos eu canto,
Eu canto a fantasia,
Eu canto o amor, eu canto a alegria,
Eu canto a fé, eu canto a paz,
Eu canto a sugestão,
Eu canto na madrugada...
