MPB and Bossa Nova have enjoyed little bursts of popularity in the american consciousness, most recent one on clock app as of 2021ish? (Time is fake now) Point is I almost never see Jorge Ben Jor mentioned and that’s a travesty . I see Sergio Mendez mentioned all the time but his biggest hit Mas Que Nada was written by Jorge and is so much better and bathed in that samba feel, like everything Jorge makes. Listen to Puro Suingue a compilation/alternate takes Of some of Ben’s best, best track, imo, is track 6. O Telefone Tocou Novamente.
Hope you enjoy!

It's impossible to pin point Jorge Ben as a single genre. an iconic album of Brazilian Tropicalism it incorporates Samba, Soul and Rock in unique and exciting ways. It speaks to the Modernist concept of Antropofagismo citing both American pop culture and local Carioca culture.
Highlights: Cadê Tereza and Charles, anjo 45

if it's a lovely day out, consider taking a little walk through nature with your friends! perhaps you'll race sticks under a bridge or perhaps you'll spend half an hour picking up glass by the side of a creek. you know, for fun.
