“Mas Que Nada” is a song by Jorge Ben Jor, originally released in 1963 and made famous in the US by Sergio Mendes in 1966. This version is an arrangement by the late Cidinho Teixeira, a master of the Brazilian music groove. Greta and I are among many musicians who learned from Cidinho through direct experience of his contagious drive, by playing countless times in New York City. Peace and love to you, my brother.
