Mr Bongo

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.

Mr Bongo is a British label that was founded in 1989. Originally located in a small record shop of the same name, it later moved to various locations in Soho and Shibuya, Japan. In 1999, the label's office was relocated to Brighton and its London & Shibuya shops were closed in 2003. However, a new shop was opened in Brighton in 2016. Since 2004, Mr Bongo has expanded into the world of cinema and also has a publishing division that produces and licenses music for third parties.
The label's rich history and diverse range of music make it an influential player in the industry. With its extensive catalog and commitment to quality, Mr Bongo continues to be at the forefront of discovering new talent and delivering exceptional music experiences.

Number 81 is the Brazil.45 series sees further digging into the magical world of Jorge Ben's lesser-explored 1980's productions.

'Ma Ma Ma Ma Maé (A Lingua Dos Anjos)' is taken from his 'Alô Alô, Como Vai?' album from 1980, which is arranged, produced, and features keys by the don, Lincoln Olivetti. The song contains trippy lyrics singing about flying saucers and angels.

'Dona Culpa' finds Jorge featuring on a cool mid-tempo groove track taken from Cauby Peixoto's 'Cauby! Cauby!' album (also from 1980). Singer Cauby Peixoto had a long and stellar career, recording and releasing music from the mid-1950's all the way up until his passing in 2016.
