S3rgi0 M3nd3s - Enc4nt0



Finally, after 2 years in waiting, Sergio Mendes is back with a new album, Encanto.Encanto means Enchanted, or Charming, and that describe this album perfectly. Sergio once again repeat his winning formula, after his Timeless album went very successful 2 years ago. If the “earlier” generation knows Sergio Mendes as one of the bossa legend,now the younger generation, even the MTV generation can also enjoy Sergio songs. You’ll get Will I.Am and Fergie. There’s hispanic taste with Juanes, Afro French taste with Zap Mama, there’s also Siedah Garret, Ledisi, Jovanotti, Carlinhos Brown, and Sergio’s wife, the great Gracinha Leporache. What really surprise me is, Lani Hall is back! with her husband, Herb Alpert on vocal. Don’t forget and cool trumpet. A really joyful and pleasant surprise. For many years I wish sergio would get Lani back with him in any song or album, and now it happens.

This album is really amazing and solid. It touches many aspects of songs, and reached many fans across generations. An album can’t be made better than this. It’s really refreshing and geniously made.
