Song of the Day: Jorge Ben - Apareceu Aparecida

I'm ending my "Amoeba purchases week" with Jorge Ben's "Apareceu Aparecida." I became interested in Ben through his album with Gilberto Gil, and while I'm no Brazilian music expert, I really like what I've heard so far. I bought Ben's Forca Bruta album as a reissue of the 4 Men With Beards label, who have reissued quite a few classics (including Television's Marquee Moon), so I figured this would be worth it. And it is, as I can't stop listening to it. If anyone has any other Brazilian albums in this vein to recommend, please let me know.
