Gil e Jorge is a 1975 album featuring collaboration between Brazilian musicians Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil. The two perform together alongside percussionist Djalma Corrêa on each of the songs, improvising and interacting directly throughout.[3] The songs "Morre o Burro, Fica o Homem" and "Taj Mahal" first appeared in different incarnations on Ben's 1972 album Ben.[4] Likewise, Gil's songs "Nêga" and "Essa é pra Tocar no Rádio" showed up earlier in alternate arrangements on his 1971 album Gilberto Gil[5] and his 1975 album Refazenda,[6] respectively.

It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 100 best Brazilian albums in history.[7]
