"I have a VW Bug and a guitar / I'm for Flamengo and I have a black girl named Tereza / I'm a boy of average intelligence, that's right / But even so I am very happy, content, I don't owe anything to anybody"
Jorge Ben Jor, "Pais Tropical," 1969

Jorge Ben Jor (pictured above) is Brazil's everyman-poet, a man who's beyond legendary in his home country.  He's on tour in the USA for the first time in eight years, and I'm looking forward to seeing him this Saturday at the Howard Theatre in DC.  To get warmed up for the event, this week I'll spin a set of his tunes and a medley of covers as well.

Also on this week's program: Afrobeat, rumba Congolaise, and a global deep house dance party.
