A fantastically soulful album from Jorge Ben – one of his greatest records ever, and a key part of Brazilian music in the 70s!

Jorge Ben —
Solta O Pavao (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP Philips/Survival Research (Australia), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99

An incredible album by one of our favorite Brazilian artists!
