The hits set his audience want to hear [or what he thinks they want to hear] and the golden period in the late 60s/early 70s including Força Bruta, the self-titled one, A Tabua de Esmeralda, Solta.., etc seem to be two different worlds.

i love jorge ben so much, i would fall to pieces if i ever saw him perform live


^^^ same here, the man is like… it’s a cliche but he could just be strumming away singing the telephone book and I’d be enraptured for hours. he just has that true magical musician presence

also, was listening to Bem-Vinda Amizade and lol’d at the random interjection of bagpipes playing “Scotland the brave” at the fade out of the last track

four months pass...

I'd say Solta o Pavão is the most slept-on classic Ben album of at least several.
