i don't think that's Ben on bass.
Got the CD reissue here at work and it credits 'Wagner' on bass. (Tiso? )

my limited knowledge in portugese made me think that the wagner dude played bass on only a coule tunes, but it is beyond very possible that I have this wrong...I was going on the photos in the gatefold of Jorge playing the bass...and he is playing with a pick in the photos and the bass playing on "Taj mahal" is definitely played with a pick...but I am probably wrong, oh well.

Wagner Tiso plays bass as well? I thought he was the allround keyboard/arranger wiz. Hmm.
