Jorge Ben

𝘼 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘, A Tábua de Esmeralda finds Jorge Ben merging samba, soul and esoteric themes into one of his most celebrated and enduring works.

Released in 1974, the album is deeply inspired by alchemy, mysticism and medieval philosophy, yet remains rooted in Ben’s unmistakable groove and rhythmic brilliance. His lyrics weave poetic reflections with playful melodies, carried by arrangements that are as intricate as they are accessible.

Reissued by Polysom, *A Tábua de Esmeralda* stands as a cornerstone of Jorge Ben’s discography and of MPB as a whole, a timeless record where spirituality, philosophy and rhythm converge with visionary artistry.
