Considered as one of the most essential album in the Jorge Ben's discography, "Fôrça Bruta" fits into the success decade started from his debut album "Samba Esquema Novo" in 1963. "Fôrça Bruta" moves away the Bossa Nova to join the emerging modern musical movement in Brazil, the Samba Rock, also called Samba Soul, which incorporates Funk/Soul elements from North America including soulful voice and typical rhythm and blues arrangements. With "Fôrça Bruta", Jorge Ben contributed to bring to light on the Trio Mocotó, his backing band from 1969 to 1972, who will become one spearhead of the genre. Titles include the classic "Pulo Pulo", the Soul ballad "O Telefone Tocou Novamente" and the typical Samba Funk "Fôrça Bruta". All tracks composed by Jorge Ben.
