SÉRGIO MENDES CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF ‘BRASIL ’66’ AT THE BIG DOME
World-renowned artist Sérgio Mendes will once again take concertgoers through a breathtaking array of bossa nova hits on March 12 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The concert celebrates the 50th anniversary of his seminal album, “Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66.”
“Brasil ’66” was Mendes’ first album that put Brazilian music on the map in the 1960s through 1970s. It was produced by Herb Alpert and Mendes
sexy, himself, with songs that integrated Latin jazz and bossa nova with elements of American pop music.
In 2011, the groundbreaking album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The album also appealed to pop audiences through Mendes’ versions of the Beatle’s “Day Tripper” and Little Anthony and the Imperials’ “Going Out of My Head.” Other songs included in the album were “The Look Of Love,” “Chove Chuva,” “Scarborough Fair,” “Roda,” “Night And Day,” among

In 2006, Mendes worked with the Black Eyed Peas on a fresher version of his 1960s hit, “Mas Que Nada” for his “Timeless” album. He also opened up the collaborative channels with other fresh artists like Jill Scott, India Arie, Justin Timberlake and Erykah Badu. More recently, he collaborated with John Legend, Carlinhos Brown and Will.i.am for his 2014 release “Magic,” which featured the hit single, “One Nation,” the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
