Gilberto Gil/Jorge Ben - "Gil E Jorge"

this is outstanding:

perfect music for dancing high - where do I go from here?

do you have anything else by either of them?

nope, only familiar with Getz/Gilberto and the Taj Mahal single

Both have pretty big catalogs filled with good stuff (especially Ben), but as said upthread this album is pretty unique. That said, the closest connections in their catalogs would probably be "Expresso 2222" for Gil and "A Tábua de Esmeralda" for Ben. Both are mostly acoustic and are definite high points in their careers.

If you'd rather just hear amazing albums from them that aren't necessarily that similar to "Gil e Jorge," then I'd probably say "Africa Brasil" for Ben (it has the most well known version of Taj Mahal on it, though there are several), which is super fun samba-funk, and for Gil I'd get the 1968 self-titled, which is Tropicalia's peak imo and just beautiful. Tbh for Ben there are several others I love just as much, but I think you'd like the energy on Africa Brasil.

Neither Gil nor Jorge, but you might like Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges's "Clube da Esquina" which has a nice communal vibe to it.

Massive co-sign on Africa Brazil and Milton Nascimento.

Expresso 2222 is one of my favorite albums.

thanks for those recommendations, will keep me busy for a while!

sounds great so far
