Sergio Mendes: the Bossa Nova boss is back
Does that rhythm the BEPs and that old Brazilian dude in the new Sergio Mendes 'Mas Que Nada' video sound familiar? Remember when the International Man of Mystery hits Vegas? Thats the original Mas Que Nada and now Sergio Mendes, one of the OG bossa nova cats from the 60s is back with his first disc in ages. He worked with will.i.am in bringing back the old sound into the new but found lots of common ground between what the 2 do.
“It turned into a wonderful marriage of rhythms because it’s all African rhythms and haunting melodies. It’s all about the same beats that we inherited from Africa. It’s that same common denominator that brought the samba to Brazil and brought jazz to America."
