“It wouldn’t really be summer… without the music of Brazil… [like Sergio] Mendes’ spirited keyboard work; and [his] surging, samba-tinged rhythm section rich with the percussion sounds of carnival… Mendes continues to keep his band in touch with contemporary styles” – Los Angeles Times
“Sergio Mendes has probably sold more records in the United States than any other Brazilian musician in history”- New York Times
With Headlining Appearances At JVC Jazz Festival Shows In New York (Carnegie Hall) And Miami (Bayfront Park), Mendes is Touring In Conjunction With The Upcoming (June 10) Release of His New Album Encanto (Enchantment)
His Second Album Co-Produced With will.i.am, Encanto Finds Mendes Taking Listeners Even Deeper Into Brazilian Music, While Still Collaborating With Special Guest Musicians From Across The World – Including: Carlinhos Brown, Juanes, Natalie Cole, Herb Alpert, Lani Hall, Fergie, Siedah Garret, Ledisi & More.
On June 10th, 2008, Concord Records and Starbucks Entertainment will release Encanto (Enchantment), the newest record from the legendary Brazilian musician Sergio Mendes. Encanto is the follow-up to 2006’s highly acclaimed collaboration with will.i.am called Timeless. On Encanto, Sergio takes us even deeper into Brazil, recording all the basic tracks in Rio and Bahia, finishing up in Los Angeles. Mendes enlists several guest musicians from all over the world including Latin superstar Juanes from Colombia, multi-talented Carlinhos Brown and Vanessa da Mata from Brazil, the foremost Japanese pop group, Dreams Come True, Belgium’s Zap Mama and Italian rapper Jovanotti, as well as American stars like Fergie, Ledisi, Natalie Cole, Herb Alpert and his wife, original Brasil ’66 singer, Lani Hall.
