Originally released on 7 inch by Odeon in 1967 and landing on Simonal's Alegria,
Alegria!!! album in the same year, 'Nem Vem Que Nao Tem's fame had a new
lease of life in 2002 when it was used as part of the soundtrack to the critically
acclaimed film, 'City Of God'.
On the B side, one of Jorge Ben's main backing bands and a group that was
highly infuential to his sound, Trio Mocoto. Alongside recording with Ben on the
seminal Forca Bruta, Negro E Lindo and Tabua de Esmeralda LPs, they were also
key figures in the development of the samba rock sound - a fusion of samba, soul
and rock influenced by music from the USA.
First appearing on Trio Mocoto's self-titled 1977 Arlequim LP, 'Nao Adianta' is a
dynamic orchestral-infused gem, laced with that sun-kissed, samba favour.
