Sunday Musics :: Jorge Ben - Zumbi (1971) - Guess I’m Dumb

  • Track Name

    Zumbi

  • Artist

    Jorge Ben

Jorge Ben Zumbi (1971)

"Jorge Ben with an incredible song about Zumbi, the leader of Palomares, a settlement in Brazil of Africans who had escaped and continued to resist slavery.

This is extraordinary and has hints of Mento or early Calypso or even rock steady not to mention that Brazilian beat

I love how Guess I’m Dumb finds these things . . . . . . lovely
