Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66

I forgot to mention that I saw Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 (well, Brasil 2016 now) at the City Winery in Chicago last Monday night. It was a great show. Sergio and the band performed many of their hits (Mais Que Nada, Magdalena, Fool on the Hill). Some of the songs were updated with a rapper named H20. I could have done without his input, but I guess Sergio wanted to try and update some of his older tunes to try and attract a younger audience. If you read my blog regularly, you know I love Brazilian music so I didn't want to pass up the chance to see (and hear) Sergio Mendes when he came to town. At his age, I'm surprised he's still out there touring. Go Sergio!
