Brazilian Beats

País Tropical was written by the Brazilian singer and songwriter Jorge Ben. The song was originally recorded in the year of 1969, in the beginning of the Tropicália movement.

The song highlights Brazil’s beauties and the virtues of its people, which helped the song to quickly become a big national success. Another important factor for its enormous popularity was the mixture of diverse musical styles with the essence of the typically Brazilian rhythm.

As time went by, País Tropical became one of the biggest hits of Jorge Ben’s career.
