• frica Brasil is a 1976 release by Brazilian artist Jorge Ben. It was Ben’s 14th studio album and a milestone in his career with a switch to electric guitar and funk music leaks.

  For frica Brasil, Ben reworked three of his earlier compositions: “A Princesa e o Plebeu” from Sacundin Ben Samba, “Taj Mahal” from Ben, and “Zumbi” from A Tbua de Esmeralda. The album’s opening track “Ponta de Lana Africano (Umbabarauma)”, a song about an African football striker, became a well known soccer-associated track and it was later included on David Byrne’s 1989 compilation Brazil Classics Beleza Tropical, prompting rotation of a video for the track on VH-1
