"The lyrics are magical and tell the story of the true samba, futbol, and women all Brazilians love so much. Listening to the CD takes me home without leaving my house. If only the everyone could hear this CD for themselves then they would understand the passion of Brazil!!!"
Excellent starting point for lovers of Brazilian music!

"This album shows why Jorge Ben has been and still is the quintessential musician. On topics ranging from football to samba and love, his lyrics are truly inspiring and often quite amusing. "Bebete Vaobora" tells the story of a woman who can't stop dancing the samba and her husband's frustration with her. All told with infectious rythms. In the same humourous vein "Que Pena" is the story of unrequited love of a man for a woman but also of his willingness to move on. This sample of Jorge Ben's music indicates why he has been among the world's most covered artists."
