Summary: Sunshine on a ' cloudy day".
Comment: I fell in love with Sergio Mendes & Brasil66 back in the day, because the music was fresh and different from the Soul and R&B that was usually on the Radio or Stereo... Anyways, listening to "Brasileiro", with the opening sounds of Carnival drums, I felt lifted. To anyone who reads this review, the only thing I can is if you know any one who has this disc, pop it in your CD, or better yet, drive and let the rhythmns take you away.

Summary: Sergio Mendez does Brazil
Comment: I was a fan of Sergio Mendez since his trio days, then Brazil 65, 66, etc.
So, I would say this CD is for his fans or those who want an anthology of Brazilian music.
The CD is essentially a collection of different Brazilian music forms. Personally, I rather missed his usual jazzy, Bossa Nova, or Samba style on the CD.

Summary: If you say Brazilian music drives you crazy, this CD is for you!
Comment: Sergio Mendes is to Brazilian music, what the Beatles are for modern Rock & Pop music. He is a master in Bossa Nova, Samba, Batucada, and other wonderful Brazilian rhythms. Mendes has wisely followed the advice to catch the All-American taste since he was under Herb Alpert in A&M records. In "Brasileiro" Sergio Mendes gives a fair treatment to all his musical influences, both Brazilian and U.S. The result... You have to listen it! It is captivating!
