Just realized it has been 55years since I first heard the Mendes sound. I was a DJ and played their music and saw them many times. It was a refreshing sound that added a lot to the music scene. It is difficult to believe that many of the performers are no longer with us like Dom Um Romao, Oscar Castro-Neves, Reubens Bassini, Janis Hansen,
Claudio Slon, Joao Palma, and perhaps others. Thanks to all who made the music possible, and especially to Herb Alpert for getting the group recorded and to Sergio for continuing the Brazilian sound. Thanks, too, to Lani for her contributions as well. We can all appreciate the fact that we have, with the push of a button, a chance hear that "sound" anytime we want. Keep listening!!!
