JORGE BEN
PAIS TROPICAL
PHILIPS
ORIGINAL BRAZIL MONO LP
Jorge Ben "Jorge Ben" (Philips, 1969)
(Produced by Manoel Barenbein)
(Arranged by Jose Briamonte & Rogerio Duprat)
An excellent album, with some of his catchiest songs, many of which often make it onto best-of compilations. Wildly inventive, syncretic, experimental pop music, ranging from San Francisco-sound psychedelia to spaghetti western schmaltz, and deep, heavy samba-soul. The album is both soulful and playful, as when he sings the last half of "Pais Tropical" in a nasal voice, with his nose pinched shut, or when the string section veers into bent-note atonality. (The album is also one of the best-realized efforts of tropicalia arranger Rogerio Duprat, whose influence here includes both compositional elements and fascinating experimental production techniques, such as isolating unexpected elements in the sound mix -- bringing percussion to the fore, while burying the guitars. In general, this is a lushly multi-layered, challenging and delightful record, one which has a deserved and enduring appeal, generations after it was made.) The album art shows Ben with the emblem of the Flamengo futbol team on his guitar, and broken manacles on his wrists -- the latter presumably a statement both about the history of slavery in Brazil, and about the military dictatorship which was running the country at the time, and actively trying to repress the tropicalia movement. One of his best records... definitely worth tracking down!(www.slipcue.com)
