Free Music Download: A Tabua de Esmeralda
Going to try to regularly provide links to any great free/legal downloaded music I find online for you guys. Everything on here should be top notch.
This is Jorge Ben's A Tabua de Esmeralda (1974), provided by the wonderful Brazilian music download sharers: Loronix.
Jorge Ben is one of the greatest musicians of the MPB (Popular music of Brazil) era, and was very influential in fusing african and american rock rhythyms with the brazilian style. Here Ben has began to grow to his full mature style and this is my favorite album of his that I own. This is one of the most beautiful single works of music I have ever heard and I highly highly reccomend it. If you enjoy this check out Africa Brasil (1976) for more African rhythyms and funk in his music or Samba Esquema Novo (1963) for his older, more traditional music (both also available easily by search on Loronix).
And if you want a taste before downloading the full thing here's the phenomenal opening track's music video (which hopefully won't be hurt by the silliness on screen):

When I Read the Book
When I Read the Book
When I read the book, the biography famous,
And is this then (said I) what the author calls a man's life?
And so will some one when I am dead and gone write my life?
(As if any man really knew aught of my life,
Why even I myself I often think know little or nothing of my real life,
Only a few hints, a few diffused faint clews and indirections
I seek for my own use to trace out here.)
-Walt Whitman from Leaves of Grass
