CABARET TONIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO: BRAZILIAN LEGEND JORGE BEN JOR AT YOSHI'S
Brazilian legend Jorge Ben Jor will perform at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Tuesday & Wednesday, November 19th & 20th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. His characteristic style fuses samba, funk, and rock into samba-rock, with lyrics that blend humor and satire with often esoteric subject matter. Born Jorge Duilio Lima Menezes, he initially took the stage name Jorge Ben after his mother's name (of Ethiopian origin) but later changed it to Jorge Ben Jor (commonly written Benjor), allegedly in response to an incident where some of his royalties had accidentally gone to American guitarist George Benson. There is a $35-$55 cover.
