Fôrça Bruta is the seventh studio album by Brazilian artist Jorge Ben, released in 1970. A landmark in his career, the album blends samba, soul, funk, and rock into what became known as samba rock. Recorded with Trio Mocotó in mostly improvised, late-night sessions, it offers a raw, acoustic sound that stands apart from Ben’s earlier work.
Featuring standout tracks like “Oba, Lá Vem Ela” and “Zé Canjica,” the album explores themes of love, longing, and sensuality. Critically acclaimed, Fôrça Bruta is a cornerstone of Brazilian music and a key influence from the Tropicália era that continues to inspire artists worldwide.
