[MPB] Ben & Gil - Ogum Xango (1975)

A unique record congregating 2 great names of Brazilian popular music: Gilberto Gil & Jorge Ben Gilberto Gil & Jorge Ben - Ogum Xango "Recorded with little rehearsal and only two acoustic guitars (plus a percussionist) for accompaniment, Gil e Jorge focuses squarely on the individual talents of Gilberto Gil and Jorge Ben as musicians, vocalists, performers, and improvisers. Of course, they prove up to the task. The nine lengthy tracks on the album (it was originally configured as a double LP) feature Gil and Ben interacting to a high degree, trading lines and often repeating them several times. The best tracks here -- "Nega," "Taj Mahal," and "Meu Glorioso Sao Cristovao" -- are highly rhythmic and have the heft of ancient Brazilian folksongs. Unfortunately, there isn't another record in Gil's discography even remotely close to it" - John Bush, All Music Guide Track list: 01 - Meu Glorioso Sao Cristovao 02 - Nega Babe 03 - Jurubeba 04 - Quem Mandou 05 - Taj Mahal 06 - Morre O Burro, Fica O Homem 07 - Essa E Pra Tocar No Radio 08 - Filhos De Gandhi 09 - Sarro MP3 128/44 Preview Parte 1 - 37 Mb Parte 2 - 37 Mb password: avaxbr
