	Jorge Ben Jor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jorge Ben Jor is a Brazilian popular musician, born in Rio de Janeiro on March 22, 1942 (some sources say 1940).
		His characteristic style fuses samba, funk, and rock into samba-rock, with lyrics that blend humor and satire with often esoteric subject matter.
		Born Jorge Duilio Lima Meneses, he initially took the stage name Jorge Ben after his mother's name, but changed it in 1988 to Jorge Ben Jor (also commonly written Benjor), allegedly in response to an incident where some of his royalties had accidentally gone to guitarist George Benson.

	Jorge Ben
		Of all the musicians who came to prominence in the 1960's, Jorge Ben has always seemed to be the one to whom music-making came easiest.
		Jorge Ben's first single "Mais Que Nada" (translated as either 'No Way, Man' or 'Oh, Come On') was chosen to be the music for the 1998 Brazilian World Cup commercial.
		Combining Ben's traditional Samba/Bossa groove with speedier arrangements and pithy lyrics, it adds the urban grit of Sao Paulo (where it was recorded its subtitle is "Silencio No Brooklin") to Rio's airy spaciousness.

		Later still, Ben became known as the driving force behind Brazil's homegrown funk/soul scene, and was an inspiration for the Black Rio soul scene.
		Jorge Ben performing with organist Ze Maria (a sort of a Walter Wanderley wannabee), singing on a couple of his tunes ("Mais Que Nada" and "Por Causa De Voce Menina"), presumably before his contract with Philips Records kicked in.

		Ben headed to the States, where his compositions "Zazoeira", "Mas Que Nada" and "Nena Naná" hit the charts and were re-interpreted by musicians such as Sergio Mendes, Herb Alpert, José Feliciano and Trini Lopez.
		Jorge Ben Jor’s music holds a unique role in the Brazilian scene, due to the merging of new elements in his swinging mix and to the way he plays the guitar, revealing his appreciation of soul music and north-American funk, yet incorporating the influence of African and Arabian music, legacy of his Ethiopian mother.
		Ben’s songs have been re-recorded over and over, and he has been praised by many of the new generation’s big acts like mundo livre S/A (with the record "Samba Esquema Noise") and Otto.

	Jorge Ben Jor S/D (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Jorge Ben is great but very limited, Gil is the best of all those tropicalist guys.
		As for Jorge Ben, he's doomed outside Brazil to "number three" status, whereas in Brazil (especially Rio) he's the king of modern samba, extremely beloved and popular.
		Jorge Ben, though, to un-hijack the thread, doesn't get enough credit for being slightly subversively experimental in his own Flamengo-loving heavy-drinking common-man way.

	Guardian \| Jorge Ben Jor
		Jorge Ben (or Jorge Ben Jor, as he has insisted on being called for the past 13 years) is a Brazilian institution.
		Ben Jor, like his followers, wisely avoided World Cup triumphalism and concentrated instead on a slick and energetic nostalgia blitz.
		Much of the best Brazilian music is marked by rhythmic delicacy and acoustic subtlety, but that was not for Ben Jor.

	Jorge Ben Jor: Acústico MTV
		After Tom Jobim, the music of Jorge Ben Jor may be the most recognized outside of Brazil.
		The Jorge V band kicks off the show with the dramatic minor key "Jorge de Capadócia," a tale of a soldier strengthened by the protection of St. George.
		Throughout, Ben Jor controls the rhythm with his acoustic twelve-string guitar, the strings add a subtle Philly soul vibe, and the catchy refrains are chanted and echoed by the nattily attired vocal trio.

		Of all Brazilian musicians who came to prominence in the 1960's, Jorge Ben has always seemed to be the one to whom music-making came easiest.
		His masterpiece, Africa Brasil (1976) takes on Fela Kuti and James Brown and (more so than Caetano's and Gil's efforts) successfully synthesises them with samba into something uniquely Brazilian.

		While many of the performers during the heyday of Tropicalia and the rise of MPB (musica popular Brasileira) opted for a more radical stance in their challenge to Brazil's political and cultural authorities, artists like Jorge Ben took a more understated approach.
		Rather than use overly theatrical performance to shock the audience or write songs loaded with political content, Ben became known as one of the country's great musical alchemists, a furiously eclectic songwriter who combined elements of indigenous Brazilian music with a groove from the west coast of Africa.
		Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1940, Ben took up bossa nova guitar playing after hearing João Gilberto but found the style to complex to execute.
