Released in 1976, the album marked a decisive turn in Ben’s sound, with electric guitars, driving basslines and powerful percussion creating a new, funk-driven samba style. Lyrically and musically, it connects Brazilian popular music to wider African diasporic traditions, affirming pride and cultural heritage.

Reissued by Polysom, *África Brasil* stands as one of Jorge Ben’s most influential works, a timeless fusion of groove and message that continues to inspire musicians and listeners around the world.
