A unique reunion! I was - and am - a big fan of Sergio Mendez and his two '66 vocalists. Herb Albert I discovered when he brought out his fantastic albums 'Rise' and 'Beyond' which I heard in my local discotheque. To the DJ: "Who is this??! " "Herb Alpert." "Whaaaaaat?" That was the first time I DANCED, and also the last time...
THANK YOU for sharing this once in a lifetime video. We’re such fans of Herb, Lani and Sergio, would’ve given anything in the world to have been there in person!🙏🏻❤️🎧🎺
Absolute artists! Fell in love with SM Brasil ‘66 music when i was a teenager; Lani’s soft, gentle, cool voice & that beat totally captivated me. Still dancing to it decades on. Grateful to have this amazing band’s sound “berimbau’ing” in my life. Godsend.
Bela música de Edu Lobo e que também teve uma interpretação espetacular de Elis Regina. Legal a Lani cantando em português. Traduzir essa letra para o inglês seria complicado.
I love all these performers. The music is always fresh and soothing, then sometimes fresh and invigorating. I hear such great feeling behind their performances. I've been captivated by Lani Hall for what seems like forever. With her voice and physical beauty, it's been almost too hard to bear to think there's only one of her in the world. But... Watching and listening to Herb Alpert describe her, he seems to display a humble and almost a boy-like innocence about her. I feel like he deeply loves and appreciates her. Suddenly I'm very happy for the both of them. And, if I can't have her, I'm glad he does! Just one last thing: I will always try to imagine what it would be like to hear the voice of your wife down the hall, singing while she's making, and to know it's Lani's voice, in person. I have to imagine that's quite a thrill.
I always wondered what Herb Alpert did for the people of Tijuana considering he totally ripped off the Mariachi sound after a visit to the bullfight s at a stadia in Tijuana hen noticed each bullfighter had his own ‘fanfare’ which was played by a band in the stands. Herb Alpert s career was going nowhere fast until his friends in east Los Angeles took him to the Bullfight s in Tijuana. When he returned home he wrote The Lonely Bull which was a huge hit and the rest is history. In fairness to Herb he and Lani have donated tens of millions of dollars to arts program s in New York but nada for the children of Tijuana.
How's this? I saw the Tijuana Brass and Brasil '66 at the Hollywood Bowl in the summer of 1966! I was at a music summer camp in Carlsbad, CA. It was our big field trip. Life changing for a 13 year old!
