Jorge Ben
A Tabua de Esmeralda (LP) (1974, Philips)
"Jorge Ben is a legendary Brazilian musician who started his long career back in the early sixties. He fuses samba and rock with latin jazz creating a totally blissful style all his own. This is my favourite of his albums, and upon further research it seems I'm not the only one who thinks it. A Tabua de Esmeralda ranks #6 on Rolling Stones' top 100 Brazilian albums of all time." - DD
