Sergio Mendes turned 80 this year. He’s had an outstanding career as a top-selling artist and record producer, and he is the top living Brazilian musician outside of Brazil. PBS honored him with a special program aired early this summer, watched by millions of viewers. Sergio Mendes broke many barriers - many of his top 40 hits were in Portuguese. His band “Brasil 66”, featuring singer Lani Hall, packed large venues and exposed a whole new generation to Bossa Nova and Brazilian Jazz. Sergio and and his band are still performing and touring. Certainly an inspiration.
Minas, led by the Philadelphia-based music couple Orlando and Patricia Haddad, will bring Sergio Mendes’ music to life with a tribute in The Lounge. Expect to hear hits such as Mais Que Nada, Pretty World, Upa Neguinho, Fool on the Hill, Like a Lover, Night and Day, Tristeza, The Look of Love, and others, including one of the few songs Mendes and Brasil 66‘s lead singer Lani Hall wrote together, the beautiful and lush So Many Stars. Minas will perform as a quintet.
Indicated for 4 Grammy Awards with the latest CD Symphony in Bossa, Orlando and Patricia of Minas were very much influenced by Sergio Mendes Brasil 66, in the early days. Minas will be performing Sergio’s arrangements, as well as providing a taste of the original Brazilian/Portuguese version of most songs.
