Vote for the "name" song you prefer!
Propaganda for "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)": "I love the story and the beat and always try to make it apply to a ship (and i've found 3 it works for!)"
Propaganda for "Magnólia": "Beautiful song about a father being excited for the arrival of his baby girl"
Jorge Ben - Descobri que Eu Sou um Anjo (1969)
Rogério Duprat's arrangement on this Jorge Ben tune is really "out there": as Jorge's samba guitar holds things together, sweeping and sometime discordant strings cut across, with backing vocals softly chanting and Jorge's almost spoken vocals create something very different. Translated the song title is "I discovered I am an angel".
1967
Don’t let the title fool you — this track has nothing to do with Jorge Ben’s more famous Mas Que Nada.
Rosa, Mas Que Nada stands on its own, bursting with his signature guitar groove, punchy percussion, and a laid-back vocal flow.
100% classic late-60s Ben — raw, rhythmic, and impossible not to move to.
