Jorge Ben (deluxe Edition) (vinyl)

This album is considered a Samba Soul classic, and marks his first collaboration with Trio Mocotó. Includes hits as "Pais Tropical", "Que Pena", and "Charles, Anjo 45". The three songs were covered at the same year by Gal Costa (the first two) and Caetano Veloso (the third). Released in 1969, it is Jorge Ben's first album with Trio Mocotó. The self-titled album is said to have influenced the Tropicália movement, with Gal Costa recording "Que Pena" and "País Tropical" in her first self-titled album, also released in 1969. "País Tropical" turned out to be Jorge Ben's most famous song in Brazil. In the album cover, Jorge Ben pays homage to Brazilian football club Flamengo, with the team's crest appearing on his guitar body.
