Ben é Samba Bom is the second studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist Jorge Ben, first released in Brazil in 1964. It was reissued in the United States by Philips Records in 1967, under the title Big Ben Strikes Again (Catalogue no. PHS 600-234).[1]

Critical reception

Reviewing the album's 1967 American reissue, Sepia magazine wrote: "The expressive voice of Jorge Ben is rough-edged, warm, and very Brazilian. Brazilian music and rhythms have pervaded American and European popular music like a gentle rain and Jorge is one of the reasons behind their influence. You will definitely want this one that has 'Bicho Do Mato,' 'Shuffling Along,' and 'Leaving Port.'"[1]
