Big Ben Jorge

One of the Tropicália movement’s most iconic figures thanks to his self-titled album released in 1969, Jorge Ben Jorge remains one of Brazil’s most timeless artists of the 20th century.

With countless hits including “Chove Chuva,” “Mas Que Nada,” “Ive Brussel” and “Balança Pena”, his work has been interpreted by artists from Caetano Veloso and Sérgio Mendes to Miriam Makeba and Marisa Monte.

To celebrate the maestro’s legacy on Brazilian Independence Day, south London based group Big Ben Jorge will present an explosive tropical dance set inspired by the 70’s Brazilian pop music and samba funk of Jorge Ben.
