Released in 1971, Negro É Lindo (which translates to "Black Is Beautiful") is a seminal album by the Brazilian artist Jorge Ben. The title is a direct nod to the "Black is beautiful" movement, reflecting the appreciation and celebration of Black beauty and Afro-Brazilian culture during a politically repressive time in Brazil. Musically, the album stands out in Ben's catalog for its fusion of samba, bossa nova, and Afro-Brazilian rhythms with influences from funk and Tropicália.
