Africa Brasil is a better pick. I might choose between that '69 self-titled or Forca Bruta as the most optimal starters ... and this is likely more than what Tabs wants to commit to, but hearing Samba Esquema Nova is somewhat essential to understanding his career arc, as well.

You kind of have to buy into Jorge before opening your arms to him. He is inherently cheesy and a little much to plunge into without some context.

For what it's worth, he sings lead and plays acoustic on one of the more revered Os Mutantes songs (this was the first Brazilian tune I ever fell in love with, back in the high school days):





[Mutantes is still probably the best Brazilian entry point for anybody on this board, I would think]
