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. 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, 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.

In conjunction with the upcoming release of Encanto, Sergio Mendes will be returning to U.S. stages, perfectly timed to bring his samba-based bossa nova sound to summer concert audiences. You can catch Sergio Mendes in concert at these dates:
