Originally released in 1970, Forca Bruta is an absolute classic from one of Brazil's most consistently great artists. Despite being embraced by the Tropicalia movement (with Caetano Veloso and Gal Costa both covering his songs) there is no psychedelic meandering to be found within these grooves, this set is pure samba-soul. Jorge Ben is backed here by the innovative Trio Mocotó who never overplay and allow his soulful vocal delivery and samba guitar to be the centerpieces.
