It also marks the final chapter in his celebrated trilogy with Trio Mocotó, following the self-titled Jorge Ben and Força Bruta.
The album includes the beautiful “Comanche” and “Porque É Proibido Pisar na Grama,” as well as “Cassius Marcelo Clay,” a tribute to boxer and Black activist Muhammad Ali. The title, Negro é Lindo, translates as “Black Is Beautiful.”

This is the last of the three records with Trio Mocotó, that Jorge Ben knew at Jogral Bar in 1968 and join him at Jorge Ben, the 1969 LP,, and the remarkable Força Bruta a year after. After Negro é Lindo Jorge Ben will make a change to have more harmonies and joined the band Admiral Jorge V for the next albums. The connection between Jorge and Trio Mocotó can be seen also in their rarest recording on vinyl, a show that took place in february 1972 at Osaka, Japan, and is their creative peak for most of their fans.
