  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.

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.

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.
