Two classic cuts from Jorge Ben and Miriam Makeba take either side of this Mr Bongo Brazil 45 reissue

'Xica Da Silva' is one of Jorge Ben's most well-known and well-loved cuts, housed on the legendary Africa Brazil LP that deserves a place in every collection. A magical MPB cut, it instantly transports you to the shores of Rio de Janeiro. With a low- slung funky samba favour, Ben's absorbing vocal recounts the legend of one of Brazil's oldest black icons.

On the fip side, Miriam Makeba serves up an entrancing, slowed-down, grooved-out version of 'Xica da Silva'. A highly infuential singer, songwriter, and civil rights activist from South Africa, this low and slow interpretation is doused in strutting guitar, off-beat piano stabs and hypnotic drums providing the perfect platform to let Miriam's vocal shine through.

Remastered with refreshed artwork.
Back in stock due to demand, a reissue of a classic gem from our BRAZIL45 Series.
Featuring two versions of one of Jorge Ben's most well-known and well-loved cuts. One by Ben himself, the other from South African icon, Miriam Makeba.
