Sergio Mendes & Brasil '88

[@1965eroomdarb]

Hi Warren. I am a 47-year-old architect in Kansas City who discovered Brasil 77 while a freshman in college (1983). I picked up a copy of Vintage 74 at a thrift store in Lawrence, KS and was hooked from the first track. Between the wonderful arrangements and Bonnie Bowden's voice, I couldn't get enough. Today, Bonnie is my friend. Your music from the 70s and 80s is timeless. I still listen often.

[@fernandoruizarnaez]

Shes a beautiful girl and singer

[@bestofbethanygrant]

THAT'S MY MOMMA(Carol Rogers). WOW what a blessing it is to follow in her footsteps

[@sacnusum]

Classic stuff ...& Some of the hottert babes to ever walk the planet ... & Oscar Castro Neves is having such a good time ... Great Jam. Thanks for the share...

[@maurizioverdinelli9400]

Oooopppaa!!😮

[@giancaterino]

These videos were a collection we made when I was playing bass for Sergio. The group Brasil 88 was formed in 1978 and all the performances were up until 1981. We call it the Sinatra band because we toured with Sinatra in 1980. Thanks for your comment,w

[@solaris70]

i love this i love your Bass playing it's clear and u can hear it this was beautiful remember seeing this when i was in 4th grade but the adults would not turn up the television 📺 volume töö much i was pouting about that my favorite memories most beautiful memories thAnk You always for this 🔹✳️🎶🎶💜💚💙🌆🌌💠🌍❇️🏵️❇️

[@dfreeman120]

Sounds good.

[@rlf888rlf]

Marietta still active today...I brought her to the Philippines for a series of shows in 1996 with my brother Toti, musical director...it was great!!! hope to meet Bonnie & Carol soon!

[@eddynevvy]

Too bad, I wasn’t’ there that time or else I could have watched the great Ms Waters

[@fernandoruizarnaez]

Me gusta tanto

[@oneofmany1087]

This is the best of Sergio Mendes band and Brasil 88

[@hydropolite]

this was our favorite song when my wife and i were dating - now i/m in love with the girl in the middle

[@52hogan]

Love Sergio Mendes, and his music..................Thanks for the clip

[@giancaterino]

That's right she is Bonnie Bowden Amaro her husband is David Amaro. He is playing lead electric guitar with the band. thanks for your comment ,giancat

[@giancaterino]

Thanks Paul, I'm glad that you are enjoying Sergio. I was very blessed to work with that great band. Brasil 88

[@KatradioNY]

Warren..always remember how much you influenced music! Sergio Mendes introduced Brasilian music to the U.S. in a more explosive way..hit wise..than the earlier Tom Jobim collaboration with Getz with another Bossa Nova daddy..Joao Gilberto. Sergio's crossover to a more pop and orchestrated sound..did the trick! Bravo for Sergio and all his incredible musicians like Oscar and you! The singers..various..Lani..Gracinha..Karen..Marietta..Janet..Bonnie..Carol...etc. exude the magic that IS Brasil! TY

[@clintfalk]

In the 60's, when I was a kid, he was the "gateway drug" into Brazilian music.

[@Cormaxx]

Who is Janet? Janet who?

[@stanleygsf]

Marietta Waters (the girl in the middle) sung the "Top Gun" (1986) soundtrack "Destination Unknown".

[@eddynevvy]

Never known this ‘til now...have to look for that cassette tapes...top gun soundtrack...Kenny Loggins “Playing With The Boys, Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away” we’re in that album as well...thanks for sharing that info...I’m really a great fan of Marietta and Sergio Mendes

[@DrumTipsRock]

Sergio plus stevie plus Sergio's Girls = Awesomeness!

[@clintfalk]

Great trio of singers there. Lovely girls doing some great dance moves and great vocals to a great song.

[@ruben9253]

Great songs, girls, musicians and souvenirs, thanks for sharing

[@eddynevvy]

When playing my cassettes in the late 70s and early 80s then, cds in later years, I never knew the singers...now because of these videos, my guesses were having answers as to who sang them in groups or solos...’though everyone aged/ matured, my liking of their music becomes more now than ever; hoping that in future concerts, all present and these previous singers will be present that would be my greatest wish...who’s gonna forget “waiting for love” and “the trouble with hello is goodbye” & “ put a little love away” by bonnie ...”bridges” & “so many stars”as well as “the waters of march” by marietta or carol...”pretty world & “like a lover” by lani & karen...”i believe” & never gonna let you go by liza & marietta/liza & joe plus “what do we mean to each other” those are classic songs that define the music of the disco 70s & pop alternative 80s...this discofied song is one of their best, too

[@pennman82]

I have the first song, "Tiro Cruzado" from the Brasil 88 album with Sergio holding those transistor radios on the album cover.

[@israelzilberman]

The first piece is genius. I listen to it from time to time.

[@valentinekuntz9330]

it sure is!!! what is the 1st song called? What CD of his can I find it on?? would love to buy it!!!

[@wendyjohnson1973]

I saw Sergio Mendez at the Hollywood bowl the summer that the Olympics were in Brazil. Great concert! Special guest stars were Herb Albert and Lani Hall. Talk about great! Also other Brazilian acts that were great. A great way to celebrate the Summer Olympics!

[@antonioguiang3410]

Great performance. Love the energy of all especially of Marietta Waters, her singing and dancing. Fantastic stage presence.

[@robertboney4493]

Waters was great!

[@Afineaddition]

Pure hot

[@robbybobbyoh]

The women are enchantingly talented and beautiful--Bonnie, Marietta and Carol! #RememberingSergioMendes #SergioMendesExcellenceTrailblazer

[@rafaelchaconroa3424]

Música que alegra el alma.! Cantan hermoso.

[@ThirdEye105]

Look at Bonnie in her prime.

[@oneofmany1087]

Wow I just Love the way that you played That Bass. U.R.AWESOME!!!

[@btrobic]

thank you! I was having a very hard time believing this was from 1988. Enjoyed it.

[@clintfalk]

It wasn't. It was from 1979. Sergio kept adding 11's to the name, presumably to make the band appear more current. Of course, the lineup was always changing, as well (particularly after the departure of Lani Hall)

[@melvin1988]

Thanks for posting this video up!

[@Randart1]

Here is a bit of history for you folks... Sergio and some Brazilian lads came here first in 1962 to check out the Jazz scene and their musical heros of that time... They went to a show of Cannon Ball Adderly's and met him and the rest is history... They made a awesome album together! Some of the Sexiest stuff you will ever hear but no babe singers sadly...

[@giancaterino]

thank you so much for your comment...............you put me in with all those great people. anyou are right Brasil is a magic influance on the world......Oscar would say that Brasilians are the little brothers and sisters of the world. w

[@robertboney4493]

Great band and singers!

[@Mannchild11]

My father said that if you want to find a hot woman you go to Brazil. What a legendary group.

[@DawnThatt]

Thanks for putting this on. I'm an old friend of Bonnie's and haven't seen her for years... except on her website. This great vintage!

[@reason5591]

Carol Rogers is such a beautiful woman, she could have easily been a successful model as well.

[@gonzaloramosaranda8939]

UN ADIOS A SERGIO MENDES De la vida te desprendes con tu música, instrumentos, “Más que nada” hay lamentos hoy te fuiste Sergio Mendes al cielo la fama extiendes sobre de una estrella nova le tocarás Bossa Nova al Cristo de Corcovado que es tu fan más consagrado, el mundo extraña esa trova. Autor: Lic. Gonzalo Ramos Aranda Ciudad de México, a 06 de septiembre del 2024

[@9mtaurus]

Marietta Waters bellisima, como para ir a traerla en una maquina del tiempo e invitarla a cenar al mejor restaurant de la ciudad. Preciosa.

[@warrengiancaterino3733]

Make sure it's vegetarian......she eats no meat

[@fadica59]

Increible como siempre Sergio Mendes, de los grandes del Brasil, ademas que bella Marietta Wathers

[@ArthurGouveiaLima]

geeeeeeeeeente, é muito orgulho... karamba.

[@dburley2532]

The second track is "The Real Thing" Stevie Wonder composed it back in the late 70's for Sergio Mendes.

[@ArthurGouveiaLima]

@giancaterino If I was older, I would have gone on show in Brussels with Sergio Mendes. Nice to meet you, Warren.

[@hartleycwhite]

A great video, as always Sergio Mendes (Brasil 66', 77, 88;) a great musician and influence on my musical pallette.Thanks Sergio and to all of your musicians and singers over the years thanks, I appreciate it. Hartley C.

[@almirsoares1113]

Muito balanço , seu estilo de sempre. S.Mendes é nossa referência musical ao EUA, pois se radicou em terras americanas, mais nunca esqueceu suas raízes. Faz falta, ainda mais em pleno 2020 onde esqueçeram o que é música. Show esse cara.

[@deanasimms]

Yes there is no comparison!

[@beameup64]

Great Album !! Had it LP, then CD.

[@beedoe51]

That's you Mom! That is cool!!!

[@valentinekuntz9330]

LOVE IT! IT'S BRILLIANT!!! So Good!!!!! Thanks for Posting This!!!!!

[@fernandoruizarnaez]

Tiro cruzado. Wonderful

[@giancaterino]

My main instrument with Sergio was a 60/70s Fender Jazz fretless I had converted with an ebony fingerboard. The other was a fretless Travis Bean (aluminum neck). Great sound but would break strings (sometimes 2) in the middle of a concert. I still use the Fender sometimes but mostly a Godin Fretless. Thanks for asking! w

[@xoxegeric5299]

Les voix pètent comme une section de cuivres ! Fameux et j'aime aussi le coté déjanté !

[@giancaterino]

merci!

[@jaguarnordestino]

Americanas cantando em portugues soam como caricias p/nossos ouvidos.

[@giancaterino]

nice......

[@chironjo]

Great stuff Warren. SM and his music, specially those women chorus sound always took me to a place that I never knew where it was (I guess it was a Brazil I've never met) but nevertheless always had me dreaming about the best was yet to come in my life. then I met my wife, a beautiful tall Portorican and we had this beautiful daughter, which both love Brazilian music, and I realized that my place was exactly that place this music had me dreaming about and my girls (wife and daughter) were those dream women which voices I heard through these tunes. love you bass lines too. now, I am an amateur bassist wannabe I bossa nova guitar fan.

[@giancaterino]

Thanks so much for appreciating this music

[@chironjo]

Warren Giancaterino Yep, and I wish I someday can elevate my bass playing level to gig in some group and express myself. are you still gigging?

[@Flap999]

Thanks Mike for bringing such amazing acts to so many people. Great tune!

[@fernandoruizarnaez]

Tiro cruzado. Directo al corazon

[@victorsalazar7936]

Great music

[@FrancoisElGuapo]

Saw Serg and his Posse in SoCal in the 70's. They had some great tunes. The song(The Real Thing) Stevie Wonder wrote for them is the bomb.

[@davidjones163]

Great piano face, sergio.

[@donaldfreeman3433]

Haha very good beat

[@warrengiancaterino3733]

where are you?

[@fernandoruizarnaez]

Siempre en mi corazon. TIRO CRUZADO.

[@AlekHol]

Well.. if you are talking about Jobim's concert in Montreal, 1986 you made a mistake. The girls in Montreal's concert are Ana Jobim, Elizabeth Jobim, Maúcha Asnet, Paula Morelembaum and Simone Caymmi. Here, with Sérgio Mendes, we have Bonnie Bowden, Carol Rogers & Marietta Waters. Find out that concert and compare the girls faces, anyway =D Aleksandra.

[@giancaterino]

Larry, it's from 1979 the group is called BRASIL 88 .... Thanks for your comment

[@howwilllo]

Are you KIDDING me? ...... Are you KIDDING me!? I'm melting. Lovely.

[@howwilllo]

Who gave me a thumbs down!? I was saying I LOVE this.

[@AlekHol]

@cabolsaurus The first song is "Tiro Cruzado"- (Nelson Ângelo / Márcio Borges)

[@paulflytrap]

hi Warren - thank you so much for loading this total gem - the whole album is a shining classic & one of my all time faves - such talent in the band & diversity of styles of songs. Tiro Cruzado is my fave on the album - mainly cos of the bassline/groove - you're one SERIOUS bass dude.

[@giancaterino]

Thanks for your comment, we had 3 books of music. this is our TV show book . we had a more "OUT" book we used for the jazz festivals. Sometimes we had Freddy Hubbard with us. We had another for the year we toured with Sinatra. We always did the hits in concert.$ w.

[@imusfan48]

Your mom is 'Smoking Hot'! Is she still singing today. I absolutely love Sergio Mendes!!!

[@FCntertainr]

Agree with the combo of Stevie. Song abd the wonderful girls!

[@HeReadZ]

that's my MOM CAROL ROGERS !!!

[@FrankSax77]

I love that you had a more OUT Book, haha, I know, right? And how cool to have the fantastic post-Soares Brasil '88 bass man doin' the posting!!! I have been enjoying Brasil '88, '77 and '66 vids for a week, from preparing or a "Brazilia" jazz gig we did. Finding this Mike Dougles set is as cool as finding the TV show "Mas Que Nada" where Janis has baseball-size earrings on. (ps my brother Jim T was Freddie's Chicago pianist)

[@FunkyCosmicGirl]

Sublime!!

[@joealanouf]

so slick

[@giancaterino]

I appreciate your opinion but he had an Oscar nomination for best song last year.

[@giancaterino]

Jerome, thank you for your comment. I surly enjoyed working with Bonnie a great talent and lovely person.

[@SightNSoundBand]

Definatly a different type of sergio mendes group...much more "show" orientated, but great non the less...nice groove by the band...singers do a nice job as well...

[@apbren]

Also, the great musical energy of Oscar Castro Neves on guitar! Too many great musicians have left us! Gone but never forgotten 💰

[@giancaterino]

@giancaterino brussels was a fun concert and is a great place in our world, you would have been welcomed. w

[@HeReadZ]

WOW CAROL ROGERS IS MY MOM SINGING WITH SERGIO MENDES ... SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH ME IN THIS VIDEO !!! HOW FUNNY !

[@geraldjessie7761]

Josiah BADAZZ Grant Which one is your mom?

[@chironjo]

The black lady.

[@reason5591]

Ive always thought your Mother was such a beautiful woman.

[@jorhay1]

Your channel says you were born in 1998. This show was recorded in 1979.

[@rookieboii]

i hope they get to perform in the 2016 Olympics.

[@GodStarRevisited69]

@MrGorbokan thanks man! very cool

[@GodStarRevisited69]

superb music a great blend of jazz and latin.. what is Sergio playing? cool keyboard

[@wfs000]

Agree.

[@pdizbon]

Once Lani Hall left, I stopped listening. She was the main reason I listened to their songs in the '60s

[@diamondclaire007]

Cool, classic Bossa Nova tune!

[@itateyama]

ｔｈｅ　ｒｅａｌ　ｔｈｉｎｇ！！

[@MrGorbokan]

That was Marietta. thanks for the comment

[@fjcisneros]

latin skink gracias por la letra... que eu quero ver... molto obrigado o como se escriba, disculpa

[@AlekHol]

@darkoanton5 No one of these girls sang with Jobim in that concert.

[@bobmalack481]

Whuda mess, nothing like Brazil 66. Might as well play Disco..Robert at 67.

[@sinepanigav123]

What's with the changes in the year in the band name? Did Sergio Mendes change the name of the band every year, or did he change it just whenever there was a new lineup?

[@giancaterino]

@sinepanigav123 No HE CHANGED IT IN EACH NEW DECADE FOR THE FIRST 30 YEARS 66,77,88. Now IT"S SERGIO MENDES AND FRIENDS> THANKS,w

[@giancaterino]

@polarisathena yes!

[@giancaterino]

Your father is very smart.

[@2ndEndingVintage]

Too bad the interview gets cut out, would have been interesting. This seems to have been live, not canned music with lip synching (?) Not much footage of Sergio & Brazil doing that....

[@warrengiancaterino3733]

We always did live performance.....I edited the interview out because of length......I have a few of us performing live on the Tonight Show that I haven't posted yet.....Thanks for listening

[@2ndEndingVintage]

@@warrengiancaterino3733 That's good to know because it was sorta frustrating watching those older Brasil 66 TV appearances ....because they were all canned music. Thanks for posting these.

[@giancaterino]

@gouveiaarthur , thank you for your comment. w

[@StevieB1362]

I don't see his wife singing in this one. Where is she & that gorgeous voice?

[@andreypolidor1986]

what's the name of the first song and is it on the same album as" the real thing"

[@giancaterino]
