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.⁠
