Distractions - Sérgio Mendes

A little musical distraction for the day.

I have always had a soft spot for 50's/60's lounge music. One of the giants of the lounge scene was Brazilian instrumentalist Sérgio Mendes, who may be familiar to you through his brilliant cover of Mas Que Nada (recently re-recorded with the Black Eyed Peas). See the video below.

Mendes is out with a fantastic new CD that I just bought that highlights his collaboration with such contemporary luminaries are Fergie, will.i.am, Natalie Cole, etc. Definitely check it out if your musical tastes run in this vein.
