Music and lyrics

The album is stylistically very similar to Ben's debut Samba Esquema Novo, although the rhetoric of protest music, inspired by the likes of João de Vale and Zé Keti and found in such songs as "Não desanima João", "Jeitão de preto velho", and "A princesa e o plebeu" sets it apart from its predecessors.[3]

Tom HullA–[4]

Along with Ben's first two records, Sacundin Ben Samba was described by Will Hermes as the "blueprint for much of modern Brazilian pop."[1] Tom Hull, who was critical of the previous album, said Ben "rights himself ... with the bigger band arrangements fleshing out his sound rather than drowning it."[4]

gollark: What if your finger slips and you accidentally wipe your device? What if they just backup the thing before having you unlock it?
gollark: Well, you have 10 fingers, so that isn't a very high bar.

gollark: You should just pick your words using an actual uniform random number generator then, it is known that humans are awful at this.
