Sergio Mendes And Bebel Gilberto Come To The CCA, October 19
By: A.A. Cristi
Celebrate 60 years of Bossa Nova at the Capitol Center for the Arts (Concord, NH) on Saturday, October 19, with multi-Grammy-winning producer, composer, keyboardist and vocalist, Sergio Mendes, one of the most internationally successful Brazilian artists of all time. Joining Mendes is Bebel Gilberto, the thrilling Bossa Nova vocalist. These two legendary Brazilian powerhouses come together to present a memorable evening of new work and old favorites.
Bossa Nova was born in 1958 at the old Odeon recording studios in Rio de Janeiro. That's the date that Bebel's father João Gilberto recorded "Chega de Saudade"-Bossa Nova's very first song and the beginning of a musical and worldwide cultural phenomenon. Producer, composer, keyboardist and vocalist, Sergio Mendes is one of the most internationally successful Brazilian artists of all time. His hit single, "Mas Que Nada," is the first Portuguese language song to ever hit Billboard's U.S. Pop chart and Mendes' signature mix of bossa nova and samba and distinctive pop instrumentation have ultimately come to define Brazilian music.
