Gracinha is the only survivour singer of the old group along with Sergio (she's his wife) and recorded the 2006 version with The Black Eyed Peas and Sergio.
Gracinha Leporace began to sing with Sergio & Brazil 66 in 1970. The original line up were Rosinha de Valença and Wanda de Sá, both Brazilians. Then came the American line up with Lani and Janis (Karen Phillips replaced her). And then Gracinha (she replaced Lani) and Karen.
In fact I think this is not the original version to 'Mas Que Nada' of Brazil 66. The orignal female singers of Brazil 66 were Gracinha Leporace, Brazilian and wife of Sergio, Rosinha de Valença and Wanda de Sá, all Brazilians. The singers of this recording are not Brazilians (despite singing in Portuguese). The accent is high.
They are Lani Hall - future wife of Herbie Alpert - and Janis Hansen, who learned Mendes' Portuguese material phonetically.
Omg!!!! Can somebody transalate this for me please!!!!! My first languague is spanish and i want to learn portugese like so bad but any of the schools around me teach portuguese :(
@flakisdashkorn Oariá raiô Obá Obá Obá mas que nada, sal de mi camino que quiero pasar, pues la samba esta animada, lo que yo quiero es sambar, esta samba que es mezcla de sonidos de maracas, es samba de negros viejos (o samba negra y vieja), samba negra que: Mas que nada, una samba como esta es tan genial (sabrosa, guapachosa, buena, cool) que tu no querras que llege a su final, Oariá raiô Obá Obá Oba
It's finally good to see some kind of appreciation for Brazil, even if it's for it's language. And, yes, portuguese rocks. It's a shame just some people realize it. Thank you, but now it's time to appreciate Brazil in everything \o/ hahaha
Portugese is not pleasant to listen to....its all ao ao ao ao ao ao every other word lol

Only Brazilians can notice that, of course.
