Jorge Ben is a name that any lover of Brazilian music will be very familiar with.

Toquinhois best known for his collaborations, as composer and performer, with bossa nova poet Vinicius de Moraes.
'Carolina, Carol Bela' featured on the album Toquinho by Toquinho. It was originally released in 1970 on the small independent Brazilian label, RGE. The song was sampled by DJ Markyand XRS for their Drum & Bass track 'LK' (V Recordings, 2002). This went on to be a huge chart hit across the world, and a number one hit in the UK.

He was one of the few Brazilian artists who went over to perform in the States during the bossa nova boom of the late 60's. The song 'A Ra' was originally released on his seminal albumQuem e quem, (EMI, 1973), an album that is full of great tracks andwas considered as one of the 100 best albums of all time by the Rolling Stone magazine.
