* RearrangeTheSong: "Taj Mahal", which previously appeared on Ben's previous 1972 self-titled record, is remade from it's Arabesque sounding original into an extended psychedelic jam piece.
** Additionally, "Morre o Burro Fica o Homem" would be filpped from it's laid-back, groove-oriented form on that same record to a more rhythmic and much faster version on ''Ogum, Xangô''.

''Ogum, Xangô'' is a collaborative studio album by Gil e Jorge, a duo comprised of Brazilian musicians Gilberto Gil and Music/JorgeBenJor (then going by his previous artistic name, Jorge Ben), released in 1975.

Recorded with minimal rehearsal, a percussionist and occasional bass, the record would be released as a double LP, showcasing the more experimental and psychedelic side of Brazilian popular music of the time with its rhythmic guitar lines, looping hypnotic grooves and spirited dual vocals.

It would be considered by ''Rolling Stone Brasil'' as one of the 100 Greatest Brazilian Albums of All Time, listing it at number 60.
