Recorded in Rio in 2002, “Acústico – Jorge Ben Jor,” is divided into two full-length concert performances.

His four-decade career is well represented on the newest DVD from the MTV Acústico series. In the seventies, Ben Jor (then known only as Jorge Ben) found considerable success in Europe, and if you believe the legend, the refrain from his “Taj Mahal” was plagiarized by Rod Stewart for the international hit “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” In Brazil, artists of every style have recorded his songs, as funk, Bossa Nova, samba, sertaneja, forró, heavy metal and rap, and his songs are standards on the mobile sound systems of Carnaval, the “Trio Elétricos.” Recorded worldwide by over 100 different artists, “Mas, Que Nada” is the only song completely in Portuguese to be taken to the top of the American charts (by Sergio Mendes in the sixties).

Forty years after its first recording, his classic “Mas, Que Nada” continues to be heard throughout the world, from advertising themes and movie soundtracks to spins by hip club DJs. Writer(s): Jorge Ben, Emily CranzLyrics powered by Tom Jobim, the music of Jorge Ben Jor may be the most recognized outside of Brazil.
