Sérgio Mendes

North Shore Center for the Performing Arts

One common thread weaves throughout the staggeringly diverse tapestry of music that Sergio Mendes has created over his remarkable six-decade career: the spirit of joy. From his pioneering contributions to the foundations of Bossa Nova alongside the likes of Antonio Carlos Jobim, through the era-defining Latin-pop sound of his iconic group brasil ’66; his scintillating collaborations with jazz legends like cannonball Addereley and Herbie Mann to his chart-topping adult contemporary smash Never Gonna Let You Go on through his 21st-century reinvention with the Black-Eyed Peas and John Legend or his Oscar®-nominated theme song from the animated hit Rio, an infectious spirit of joy pervades everything Mendes has ushered into the ears of listeners.
