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.-
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 If you say so, those days you just breathed the air there and get stoned, pot smoking was rampant, flower children, be ins, so wonderful, I wana go back!
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!!❤
My mam bought me a Sergio L.P. after searching the internet for hours, trying to find music that I'd like. I love that album. I miss my mam. 😢 Great music.
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.
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).
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.
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!
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.
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.
I have many cherished memories of my dear mother God rest her soul filling our beautiful home with the magical sounds of Sergio Mendes and Tom Jobim and Herb Alpert.....I love them still, all these years later!! RIP mom and dad........miss you every day
What a sound! So grateful to have been exposed to their music growing up in CA. In those days it wasn't thought over as "crossover" music. It was just great music. ❤
SOOOO HAPPY THIS IS ON HERE🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 I INHERITED ALL MY FATHER’S BRASIL 66 VINYL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM💥💥💥💥💥💥 THANK YOU TO #HERBALPERT FOR SIGNING THEM TO HIS LABEL. #BRASIL66 #MUITOOBRIGADA #SERGIOMENDES #PARABENS
This performance was from the "Something Special" TV series in 1967, which featured Eartha Kitt as the host and main performer that week. I wish there were more of those kinds of shows available.
Sérgio Mendes & Brasil'66, o conjunto imortal, não podia desejar melhor ! A Janis Hansen, suculenta, cheia de charme , sobressaía pela sua ímpar beleza ! É claro que é meu ídolo para sempre mesmo depois da sua morte
From Spain.... Amazinggg very Amazinggg love Brazilian music.... Corcovado.... The girl from Ipanema..... Batucada..... And others.... Love group of girls... Greetings from Spain.. Very thanks for posting this wonderful video!
This music never gets old or dated....it has stood the test of time during all these years. Mas Que Nada got revived again with the group, the Black Eyed Peas. I think I must have their entire repertoire of music and ever so often I have Sergio-a- thon.....so great!!!!!!! ...long live this wonderful music 🎙🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎵🎼
@@joeguajardo5092 yes it was different....but I guess the new rendition was to entice a younger audience to listen to this " older music"....and for me....as long as Sergio Mendes music gets spread around the globe that's means their music will always be in the air waves. Have a great day ✌🌞😊😎
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.
@@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
Talk about coming into The World in Early 50'S AND having ALL this good Music. Do believe I got into Brasil 66 by way of Astrud Gilberto's Gem of a Tune "Girl From Ipanema"..
A very good group! They had such a great sound and Lani' and Karen had such great vocals! and the Musicians had it together and tight! They just don't have groups like this anymore!
@@artsybabe4u i recall herb alpert saying in those early songs its just lani double tracked,,,no janice at all...she wasnt even in the group for thier first hits,,,sorry
@philipbrackpool-bk1bm. A good one??? He was one of the best drummer in the world.he also played with Frank Sinatra and A C.Jobim.Years later became the drummer of the jazz-rock group Weather Report!
Lani Hall had the purest voice of any female singer in history. A perfect example is in So Many Stars. Simply perfect with unbelievable power and range.
I agree...her voice is unbelievable..and how Sergio found this other girl with this voice that blends with Lani ..sounds like one voice .. really amazing!
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.
Amazing to think that this great music was getting so much attention and appreciation during the explosive mixed bag of music genres of the mid to late '60s. Sergio could do no wrong during that time period...They even had a hit record covering the Beatles Fool On the Hill.
I love the Samba rhythms and the ladies’ vocals add a special touch th this genre. I’m as short as the girl with the dark hair but I have the taller woman’s color of hair. P. S. I wasn’t familiar with the second song performed
Gosto muito espeicalment as duas garotas. Ainda me lembro ver-las em Chicago em 1966. Brazil '66 was soooo good! Actually the first time I saw them was in some northwest suburb of Chicago. I had no idea Lani Hall was from "our town"! Thanks for posting this.
@euskedyzestoa2008 hace 0 segundos Mexico City back in 1970 Brasil winning the World Cup with Pelé (qepd) fiesta brasileira everywhere you went what a great music to party with, what a year!!!
@@rumbarey That was such a nice response, Perry. I truly appreciate it... and yes, the music and the voice lives on. My greatest gift was knowing her, loving her and being loved by her.
