Sergio Mendes

Sergio Mendes, whose Brasileiro won a "Best World Music Album" Grammy, commands international attention with his exhilarating blend of Pop-inflected Brazilian Jazz. Mendes and his band Brasil '66 spiced up the music scene with hits such as Mas Que Nada and Fool on the Hill. He shattered music charts with his version of Scarborough Fair, the Oscar-nominated The Look of Love, and Never Gonna Let You Go. Rolling Stone hailed Mendes' Timeless record for its "beautiful, boundary-breaking music," and the follow-up, Encanto, soared to No. One on the Jazz Albums chart.
