140 Gram Vinyl. Catalog Number: MJJ451CY Color: Yellow Format: LP UPC: 0889397884512 Tropical is Jorge Ben Jor's fifteenth album, a "muscular" mix of previously unreleased material and rearranged covers such as "Taj Mahal" and "Pais tropical". The openness to more Pop, more Western arrangements, foreshadows his future work oriented towards the stereotypical World-Dance of the 1980s. Tropical was originally intended for the market outside Brazil, and was not distributed there until 1977. A very fine confirming his immense talent and ability to adapt to the zeitgeist by intelligently breathing new life into "old" tunes that have been listened to over and over again. An era defining recording from Brazil with a unique groove and infectious energy.
