5.0 out of 5 stars Sergio Returns to his Roots, August 6, 2003
By Michael J Edelman (Huntington Woods, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Sergio Mendes started out in Brazil as a young and highly regarded arranger. In 1965 he put together an international band and had a number of huge pop hits that combined traditional Brazilian rhythms and songs with American pop, and for a few years he was one of the most popular acts in the world. But the American and European infatuation with watered down Brazilian music faded as the British invasion began in earnest, and Mendes and his various bands fade from public view.

With this album, though, Mendes has returned to a very basic and completely authentic Brazilian sound- far more authentic than the original Brasil '65 band. And it's an absolute treat. The sound of Carnival just echos through this album, and if you close your eyes you can imagine yourself in the middle of it all on the streets and beaches of Rio. Highly recommended for fans of Brazilian music, fans of Mendes, and people who just like to dance.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Sergio Mendes Album, July 17, 1999
By A Customer
This is absolutely Sergio's finest work, a great fusion of American pop, Bahian samba-reggae and Rio samba, featuring the very talented Carlinhos Brown and other musical luminaries. The liner notes, by Chris McGowan, were especially helpful in shedding light on the music. I ended up purchasing McGowan's book "The Brazilian Sound" through Amazon.com and thus finding out even more about the career of Sergio and history of Brazilian music. Let's hope Mendes continues in this vein, of incorporating fresh new styles and rhythms from Brazil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply moving..., June 17, 2000
By Barbara J. Major "bjbear71" (Upper Darby, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm writing this when others have already lavished high praise on the album. There is not much I can add except to say that from the opening few seconds of the first track to the last, I was deeply moved by everything I heard on this album.

Sergio is to be commended for his trip back to his roots. Brazil is indeed honored with this album and Sergio definitely deserved the Grammy award for it.

Bravo, Sergio!

Excellent 1992 collection of Brazilian drummers, singers, and songwriters then mixed and sweetened in L.A. by Sergio Mendez and some top drawer West Coast jazz musicians.

I was a fan of Sergio Mendez since his trio days, then Brazil 65, 66, etc.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the kitch loving bossa nova crowd
I was not into this album. The first couple of tracks are exciting, whistle blowers, but the rest of the album dissolves into a fusion jazz experience that I don't go for. Read more
