"O Bidu" Silencio No Brooklyn (1967)

"O Bid?: Sil?cio no Brooklin is the fifth studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist Jorge Ben. It was recorded with Brazilian rock band The Fevers as Ben's backing musicians and released in 1967. The album marks a change from Ben's previous recording because of the constant presence of the electric guitar and its closeness to the sound of the Jovem Guarda musical movement. According to AllMusic's Philip Jandovsk?, O Bid? is characteristic of Ben's 1960s recordings in that it is "full of sweet, sincere, and mainly upbeat songs, with the music mixing samba with elements of bossa nova, swing, pop, and soul".[5] Music critic Rodney Taylor calls it the singer's "first real attempt to merge rock and samba", with the rhythm section still swinging more than rocking."
