Jorge Ben (now known as Jorge Ben Jor) is a Brazilian musician, vocalist, and songwriter. He was born on March 22, 1939 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the early 1960s, Ben gained international recognition as a samba artist and his song "Mas Que Nada" became popular when it was covered by Sérgio Mendes. With his unique style and talent, Jorge Ben has made a significant impact on the music industry.

Ben's first full-length record, this 1963 release contains the hit singles "Mas Que Nada" and "Chove Chuva" and typifies the light yet propulsive rhythms that afforded Ben a decades-long career in Brazilian pop. Not yet pared down to the more rock- and Afro percussive-driven sound he eventually developed, Samba Esquema Novo (which translates to "New Style Samba") is replete with swirling bossa nova rhythms and soaring choruses. Its big-band-style accompaniment, nicely off-set by Ben's signature minor-tone guitar workings, propels the set into an upbeat and enjoyable listen.
