Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 [TV]

[@Robert-v3o2e]

Perfection and real quality. One of the finest musical acts ever.

[@campyoldie]

I think that drummer is playing CAMCO drums. Very rare and worth a fortune these days. Just worth mentioning he is also a great player.

[@titosarmiento8333]

Yes his use of cow and two round metals? really good and timing.great drummer not intrusive play.

Those girls have the sweetest voices ever.

Lani Hall, the brunette, was the lead singer, and layered her voice on Brasil '66's many songs.

[@marcusvonhohenlohe]

Also Lani Hall became Mrs. Herb Alpert.

[@johnGiles-t2w]

Brasil '66 was great in "66". Still great in 2023.

[@larrymiller465]

Still my favorite group of all time! (I'm 72. I think I first heard them on the car radio driving with my dad about 1967. Love at first hearing.

[@marianellajeffcoat199]

Lani Hall the best singer forever

[@anomalous3039]

It is magic. I'm glad that Herb Alpert got behind them.

[@marysykes3143]

I agree👍

[@hudentdw2]

Lani Hall had an amazing voice and was so pretty with the maestro Sergio Mendes with Karen Phillipp great music, RIP Sergio You left us with some wonderful music!

[@lexgutierrez57]

A pesar de las malas criticas que he leído en esta plataforma, digo lo contrario es un músico inmortal, su música era vanguardista en su época, le admiré mucho, ,e entregó mucha alegría en mis tiempos juveniles, no era cualquier músico, tenía estudios, y tuvo una nueva visión musical, que me llamó la atención desde que lo escuché, es histórico hoy en día y aseguro que se le reconocerá en la historia.-

[@dc10fomin65]

Lani used to sing at a place in Wells St, between North Ave and Division St in Chicago back around 65 66, I think one night I saw her sing there and she was just wonderful, this was Chicago's Old Town. I think that's where Sergio saw her and the whole connection started with her and Brasil 66, and Herp Alpert , and A & M records. The right place, time, people, situation, this is the answer to what a good or perfect life is.

[@GeeBee909]

The place was Mother Blues on Wells St.

[@juliafox3584]

This song woke me from the blur of being a teenager in the 1960's. I also learned the footwork, and it was groovy.

[@thelowe6393]

Such wonderful music. I grew up in the sixties and remember seeing them on various TV shows. Hearing and seeing these performances brings back great memories! I appreciate it so much more now.

[@Camaroguy69]

I grew up then too and agree with everything your saying.

[@franciscosergiomarsilia9070]

Sergio Mendes pride of brasilian music in the united states.

[@Camaroguy69]

I couldn't understand a word Lani was saying, but she had a wonderful voice and was so pretty. This song is my favorite and takes me back to the sixties when I was a kid and life was so simple.

[@nilse7793]

What you see here is not exactly what you hear here!

I guess they are miming to the studio recordings; Chove Chuva includes at least one string instrument (sitar?) you don't see onstage (in the coda Sergio acts as he is making the sound coming from a guitar).

[@Spock105]

As a kid of 7 years in 1966 , I grew up with this music playing on the radio in the background . Many of these melodies somehow remained sticked somewhere in my brain . It is like ' I know this music without actually knowing it ' . I finally saw Mendes live in 2019 & it was a perfect concert. This man & his music always make me smile. The weirdest is that about 1 year ago I was in this record shop and I always go through the brasil-section . There I saw this album from Bossa Rio . I looked at the cover and thought ' it is as I know this woman in this band ' . I bought the album , went home and did an update of Discogs and found out that the woman in question is Mendes his wife Gracinha Leporace . I had seen her in 2019 live since she was on tour with Mendes his band and had taken pictures at the front of the stage . So in essence I bought a record from 1969 to find out later , that I had seen the person in question 50 years later live in front of me.

[@Poppaea-Sabina]

Same here only I was 7 in 1976

[@SamhainBe]

You and I are about the same age Oracle and this never gets old - it's timeless! I've never seen them live but I see they're coming to NY in June right around the time of my anniversary. My legs and back are shot but I see they have seating ...really need to think about that one. Can you imagine the energy and fun in General Admission!

[@matrox]

I was 9 in 66' and grew up with this and listening to everything from Elvis, Motown, Chuc Berry, Sinatra to the Beatles to the Carpenters and everything in between. The mid 50s-70s had the best collection of music ever produced in the history of the world. Todays music absolutely sucks as a whole. We had some bad ass cars produced back then too. The 50s-70s was like night and day compared to todays sh!thole of a society.

[@dpidave]

Around 1970 a guy in my college dorm had the Alegria record by Bossa Rio. I recorded it and listened to it often over the years. I liked Gracinha's voice so much - she put a stylistic touch on every note and she sounded fun to be around. I believe one review I read described her as "effervescent". I was already a big fan of bossa nova and Brasil 66 and learned much later that Bossa Rio had been created by Sergio and that he and Gracinha were married. I saw a video interview of Herb and Lani where they spoke of their close friendship with Sergio and Gracinha, describing them as natural comedians who fillied their conversations with playful and affectionate jibes. They are four people who made some of my all time favorite music.

[@robinyamada8226]

I really appreciate that I got to see Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66 live in Hawaii when I was a kid. I'll never forget that evening forever...just awesome!!❤

Maybe it was easier because they were Brazilian!

[@darkoanton5]

The brunette, Lani Hall, was from Chicago and didn't know Portuguese. The other, Bibi Vogel,was from Rio de Janeiro. Karen Phillips later replaced her and she was an American and I don't think that she spoke Portuguese either.

[@danieldoan1807]

@@darkoanton5 Actually Brazilian Bibi Vogel was soon replaced by American Janis Hansen who recorded the two following LPs in 1967 and 1968. Then the whole line-up of Brasil'66 was changed and American Karen Philipp joined Lani Hall on vocals

Have you listened to Judith Durham from The Seekers, she is (was) fantastic too.

[@garryberman894]

Absolutely! I am so glad you used that example! I have always felt that her vocal on "So Many Stars" is the most perfect female singing performance ever recorded. Every syllable, every note, every inflection, is breathtaking. I'd put it against anyone - Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughn, whoever you choose. And the lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman are sheer poetry.
