"Mas Que Nada" #47 10/29/1966

Sérgio Mendes came to America in 1964, named his group Brasil '65, then renamed the band Brasil '66. His greatest pop success came when he brought a couple of female vocalists on board, one of whom (Lani Hall) eventually married Sérgio's label head, Herb Alpert. Our video has wonderful aerial views of Rio, complimenting what we saw in the recent Olympics, especially the statue of Christ the Redeemer.
