	Jorge ben (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		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.
		Over the next ten to fifteen years he expanded his reach, with varying success, to Europe and America In 1989 he released the album Benjor simultaneously announcing that he was changing his last name to Benjor.

	Brazil - Brasil - BRAZZIL - News from Brazil - Jorge Benjor Sings to Brazilians in New York - Brazilian Music - July ...
		Jorge Benjor—he used to be called Jorge Ben—, the Brazilian legend whose career spans over four decades hasn't lost an ounce of his energy over the years.
		Among the highlights was Benjor's tribute to a fallen friend when he performed the late Tim Maia's last hit, "Do Leme ao Pontal" (From Leme to Pontal, references to places in Rio de Janeiro).
		You wouldn't have known it was a tribute if you didn't know the song, for the band just started playing the song without any previous announcement, as they did with every song on the set from the minute he got on stage.

	Science Fair Projects - Jorge Ben Jor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		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, with lyrics that blend humor and satire with often esoteric subject matter.
		Born Jorge Duilio Lima Meneses, he initally 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.

	Brazil - Brasil - BRAZZIL - Trio Mocoto, the Resurrection - Brazilian Music - April 2002
		Mocotó accompanied Benjor at TV Globo's fourth International Festival of Song in Rio de Janeiro, in 1969, and although only a backing band and basically unknown outside of São Paulo, the trio's authoritative command of their instruments and resourcefully passionate presentation created a maelstrom of excitement and tension.
		Parahyba—When Jorge (Benjor) first came to the Jogral and jammed with us, we started out playing a samba groove with him, but it wasn't lining up with what he was playing.
		Jorge was the first guy to use pentatonic scales with samba, so we mixed samba, with its emphasis on the strong beats, together with what he was playing on the guitar, which put the accent on the upbeat.

	Jorge Benjor / Jorge Ben (Brazilian Music) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Jorge was the first to figure out the correlation between Brazilian samba and African-American randb and blues.
		Jorge's patented choppy guitar groove, often imitated but never equaled, is in full flow here.
		Jorge Ben's acoustic guitar playing here is exceptional, at times incredibly energetic, at times soft and smooth in the old bossa nova style, and always bouncing along carefree and up-beat.

		In 1993 he changed his name to Jorge Ben Jor but never stopped his search for new experiences that could enrich the message of his songs.
		Four years earlier he had adopted the Jorge Benjor moniker to avoid being confused with George Benson, who once had some money deposited is his checking account for payment of a Jorge Ben's European tour.
		Jorge was born in a slum of Madureira, a working class district in Rio, and was raised in a section of the north side of the city.

		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.
		Thankfully, Brazil's idea of "elevator music" is a bit livelier than ours: here Jorge Benjor teams up with a series of younger, funk-oriented artists, mostly taking the back seat as they roll through lavish versions of old songs from his Jorge Ben days.

		But in Brazil, Jorge Benjor holds a position in the heart of the nation not far removed from that of Paul McCartney in Britain: a national treasure who has written countless great songs.
		Never over-intellectual or with pretensions to high art, Benjor is the darling of ‘a galera’: the everyday, working class Brazilian who likes to kick back after work with a beer and a tune he can hum along to, a lyric he can identify with, usually about love, the family, samba, carnival or football.
		One of Benjor’s great tricks is to set up a rhythm so ‘lazy’ that it constantly threatens to topple over itself.

		MTV Unplugged - das gibt es auch in Brasilien und wenn Jorge Benjor, ein Mann dessen Karriere immerhin schon vier Jahrzehnte andauert, eine Parade seiner Hits für dieses spezielle, natürlich nur bedingt "stromlose", TV-Format abliefert, dann ist für sein heimisches Publikum eines immer garantiert - gute Laune und Euphorie.
		Benjor gehört zu den Pop-Künstlern, bei denen diese Positiv-Faktoren eine hohe Priorität besitzen und dafür hat er auch genau die richtigen Songs.
		Jorge Benjor bringt hier Titel aus allen Phasen seiner langen Karriere und selbst wenn die gelegentlichen Streicher-Einlagen etwas vom tänzerischen Potential der Musik ablenken - dies ist über weite Strecken Stoff für eine sommerliche Gartenparty mit Tanzaktivität.

		Like their North American counterparts, the artists performing on Brazilian MTV feel free to take a wide latitude with the concept of the "acoustic" show; in rock-soul legend Jorge Ben's case, he brings a full-on Barry White-style string section and soul orchestra onto the soundstage with him,...
		This is an ace bunny killer selection of material from Jorge Ben's stint on the Philips label, which is without question his best period.
		Because I know I don't like the slick pop sound he had slid into so long ago, but they are still groovalicious and melodic enough for me to get into, in a guilty pleasure kind of way.
