Jorge ben a t bua de esmeralda 1974
A Tábua De Esmeralda is the eleventh studio album by Brazilian musician Jorge Ben, released in 1974 on Philips Records. The album showcases Ben's interest in theosophy, mysticism, and, above all, alchemy. Its title refers to the Emerald Tablet, a cryptic piece of Hermetica reputed to contain the secret of the prima materia and its transmutation; and its artwork incorporates drawings from Nicholas Flamel, who was historically immortalized as a great alchemist for his work on the philosopher’s stone.
