Sergio Mendes & Friends at the Hollywood Bowl
For over four decades, Brazilian jazz artist Sergio Mendes has displayed a knack for combining his homeland's unique sounds with modern trends. In the '60s, he scored hits such as "Mas Que Nada" and showed his ability to reinterpret Beatles classics such as "With A Little Help from My Friends" and "Fool on the Hill." He reemerged in the '80s as a light rock artist, filling the radio airwaves with songs like "Never Gonna Let You Go" and "Alibis." In the last decade, Mendes has once again reinvented himself, this time as a crossover artist infusing Brazilian music with hip hop accents. His latest release, Bom Tempo, continues his newest journey, as does its accompanying album Bom Tempo Brasil Remixed. He brings his music to the Staples center to enthrall L.A. listeners.
