N: I heard and played this song in 1969 when I was stationed in Japan for 3 years. I fell in love with an intensely beautiful woman and am still with her now. This music brings back memories as no other sensation can. Lani Hall has an inimitable sexy voice which is an intense part of the amazing memory sensation. Thanks.
As a teenager , I adored the whole group. It was a shame when they split up. They had great voices, gread music and an exciting beat. !! I am a little dissapointed because Sergio is now doing Hip- Hop. But if he must, his hip hop with Black eyed Peas is the best!!! Take care
If music has no color, why mention it at all !? I fell in love with the sound of Brazil while spending a rainy Saturday afternoon in NYC w/two best girlfriends, in a record store somewhere along 5th Avenue I fell in love with that particular groove and when I want to dance it is that pulsing sound that pulse my African/Pamanian roots.

Esta música chama-se Yê- melê, os autores são Luiz Carlos Vinhas e Chico Feitosa, foi gravada por muitos cantores(as) brasileiros inclusive a Rainha Elis Regina. No google você encontra algumas.
Love this song! It's just as awesome today in 2011 as it was back then! One of my favorites. Reminds me of my brother who was famous in the music industry in Nashville. He and I used to listen to Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 every night in his music studio when he came home from work. I'd have a homemade pizza ready and we would listen to this as he worked on arranging his next hit. Looking forward to seeing him in Heaven soon.
Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 and successor groups are wonderful. Great Latin-American jazz. Gracinha Leporace and Lani Hall are superb (and sexy) singers. Terrific music. Great musicians. Thanks for posting this video.
It's a fucking music video!! Where are all these stupid ass race comments coming from? Damn! Shut the fuck up and Enjoy the video... if someone has made a dumb comment on here then ignore that shit. If you don't feed it.... it wont grow.
@rador7 Amen! It is indicative of the direction and level of education the American youth of today are taking. They are, for the most part, foul-mouthed, vastly immature, and clueless.
The one thing the youth of today must learn is how to saw, "Would you like fries with that, sir?"
Sergio was so cool when he shared camera shots with the girls--he never blocked our view of them as so many do. Classy band. Always makes my feet move.
Great video but I love Lani Hall, I dont know when she met Herb Albert but it was probably much later. The blond girl is hot but you cant beat Lani's voice. I think Brasil'66 was her start but I'm not sure.
Classic stuff... Love the retro hotties...I still have this album...It's pretty wore out now ... but it still sounds good .... thing is ... it never gets old.
¸.•**•.♫♪☼.....Pure Euphoria.......¸.•**•.♫♪☼ We must learn to embrace love, for it will bring global peace to all!!! Love to love is love!!! Peace from Rio!!!
As a teenager in Washington, D.C., this band a style of music opened my eyes to latin music. I incorporated it into my strong Motown and soul background and continued to expand once I learned flute. Great band, great music, great memories. Thanks for the post.
@trydreamin In Los Angeles I was a teenager who woke up to this music when it first hit the radio airwaves, started to learn to sing in Portuguese and finally in 1978 got myself down there to Brasil to find out about those amazing people who made this music. I loved it so much that I stayed for 60 days and did not want to come back! I also grew up on Motown and loved it.
Que todos traduzam minhas palavras,esta música de Sérgio Mendes,foi feita especialmente para uma novela da TV brasileira chamada "Escrava Isaura",de 1976,sucesso no mundo inteiro especialmente na China,onde seus personagens se tornaram ícones entre o povo Chinês
@brazilserbian This song composed by Mendes was made specially for a brazilian soap-opera named 'Escrava Isaura' (1976), a success around the world, specially in China, where the character of this play got icons between chinese people
I may not have said it earlier but thanks for posting I fell in love with Lani and Sergio's music back in about '68 or so and never got to see them. Thank you for allowing me a great pleasure.
Brasil es una mescla tremenda de razas. La parte Latina son imigrantes de Portugal, Espana, Italia e Francia. En Brasil hay raizes de cada pais del mundo. Por exemplo, em Sao Paulo hay mas que un million de Japoneses, Santa Catarina tiene mucho Alemanes, e assi es Brasil. Mi padre era Russo, mi madre Alema, tengo une hermana nacida en Austria, you naci en Sao Paulo. No me considero Russo o Alema, somente Brasileiro. Mi patria es una bonitissima mescla de gente, por isso adoro Brasil tanto.
Sou um grande apreciador da música e cultura Brasileira. Sou Português.
Dói-me ás vezes ver o Brasil ( os Brasileiros ) renegarem os princípios, as raízes. E as raízes são Portuguesas: NÃO EMIGRANTES, Colonizadores, descobridores... Aqueles que alguns vossos músicos cantam. Aqueles que diziam: " navegar é preciso, viver não é preciso". E a outra raiz é africana: Escravos!!! É daí que nasce a grande riqueza cultura. É isso que, por exemplo, Baden POwel explora nos Afro - Sambas . !!!

@varigdc10 I translate: Brazil is a great mixture of races. The latin part are immigrants for Portugal, Spain & France. In Brazil, there are races from every country of the world. For example, in San Paulo, there are more than a million Japanese, Santa Catarina has many Germans and that is how is Brazil. My father was Russian, my mother German, I have a brother born in Austria, I was born in San Paulo. I do not consider Russian or German, only Brazilian. My country is a very pretty collection
@holajim pretty collection of people and for this I adore Brazil so much.

What language do you think we brazilians speak ??? Of course we are latinos...Brazil, the whole south America, France,Portugal, Spain,Italy, Romenia are all latin languages....so they are all LATINOS....their languages have the Latim as a root.
It is called "Ye Me Le" from the album of the same name around Thanksgiving 1969. Though not a huge hit (I don't recall the chart position), it was and still is a great song along with "The Look of Love", etc. I assume this clip was taken from the Andy Williams show long before MTV and Austin Powers ever existed.
Because music is universal. Brazilians are half-bred in blood as much as in culture. What should be "white" music? Chopin??? There's always place for all of us in the world...
@jiinxbeats That is the beauty of good music like Sergio Mendes and other good music. Music knows no boundaries and it brings people from all backgrounds together in harmony.
@jiinxbeats yes music has no colour, but this music has a base in Afro Brazilian music. As for colour, unfortunately, it matters as much in Brazil as it does in the US or UK.
@AntW11 The really sad thing is anything with a AFRO anything attached has a negative conotations because of the Image the US has givin black people in the world. Also the Shame over the slave trade has caused peoples guild to turn to anger and hate and as a result though most of the music we listen to has roots in black culture people try to disregard this. Jazz, Blues, Bosa Nova, ROCK, POP, HIP HOP R&B YOU NAME IT! ...watch american television, black culture is becoming american culture
@phototristan correct. and the conditions there were 100 times worse. on a brighter note this music is so breathtaking words cannot describe the feeling.
please don't see it as a ripopp. Sergio is very multicultural, which reflects the culture of Brasilia. Music is music. If it weren't for Sergio, I wouldn't love Blackeye Peas like I do. Don't you want us to be one? Yes, it's horrible when you consider the hows and whys of African culture's influence in Brasilian culture, but that merging, that symbiosis enriches us all! He can't help it that he's white any more than I can help being Chinese, Amerindian and Caucasion. Please bless Serg
Herb Alpert's wife? Is that the lady on the cover of Whipped Cream and other delights? I think I had a crush on her when I was 10! hehehe... Is she the blond?
Oh, almost forgot, good music. Been remember Brasil 66 a lot of late, but only found this one by accident; very nice. Thanks for posting!
The sound they make (the voices together with the instruments) is so gorgeous. One day (hopefully soon) this sort of thing will be popular again. It just carries me away to another place...
I love Lani & Karen but I think Astrud Gilberto is a better singer lol. But alas it is only preference, they are ALL GREAT ... (like debating about Mariah Whitney and Celine)
im brazilian and understand a very little because the singers dont speak portuguese and most time just make ""vocalizations"", thats right?? nice video thx from brazil
GREAT classic clip! The only problem with this song is that it is TOO SHORT. It should have gone off into an extended trance groove. Love Lani and Karen is WORKAN!
Lani Hall. One of the great vocalists of all time. Ooooh, just drippingly fabulous voice. She stayed through many evolutions with Sergio's "Brasil" bands, remaining "the sound" of Sergio's most fabulous hit songs, through many of the most famed albums. She's so distinct, always memorable. Truly one of the world's great songstresses of all time.
I think it is still great music and purely coincidentally yesterday I bought the Universal Masters Collection CD Classic Sergio Mendes, with all the original Brazil 66 hits.Lani Halls vocals are brilliant.
ALERT ! Lani Hall and Herb Alpert, will be playing at Yoshi's in San Francisco June 2, 3 and 4th. I've seen them and highly recommend seeing them together. Her voice is exquisite and Herb is dynamite. Saw Sergio at Primm last month and loved him.
If Lani Hall is the Brunette in Orange I totally agree. He voice is perfection. I love to look at her as she belts out that velvet smooth tone, so relaxing. Love SM &B66!
Right now I'm in Copacabana relaxing uder a palm tree, with my hot garota next to me, sharing a caipirinha and listening to Sergio Mendes... in my mind...
Gracias Clementino. soy un gabacho de L.a. Calafia. tengo bien requerdos de este cancion especialmente por me almo. Disculpo mi espanol, pero pronuciado es Portuguese?
Don't know about Karen or, later, Janice, but Lani definitely sang Portuguese phonetically (at that time, anyway). So let's forgive her if she didn't know Portuguese at that time. She breathed the soul of Brazilian culture, which made her Portuguese roll off her tongue on those songs she sang w/Sergio Mendes' Brasil '66. Also, that voice of hers: PURELY sent from the gods & goddesses, from Shango to Iemanja. I bow down to her, Sergio Mendes & his whole crew. Even when they were lip-syncing!
I'm a Texas-ex and, while on leave, went back to Austin just before I shipped out to Vietnam in 1968. My date got front row center tickets to a Brazil '66 concert. After the concert, we went backstage and I met and talked with Lani Hall. I fell in love with her from the first words she
spoke, "Well, hello."
She was chewing on a swizzle stick which I picked up when she put the glass down and I carried that with me all the way through two consecutive tours in Vietnam. It was my good luck charm.
Take the money you were going to waste on marijuana and buy some Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 albums, because THIS is the way to get high!

Una pequena nota sobre historia.
Los brasilenos son latinos porque:
1.- Hablan una lengua(portugues) de origen latino. Es decir cuyos origenes pueden remontarse hasta el Latin romano.
2.- Formaron parte de la colonizacion de la Europa latina de america durante los siglos XVI a XVIII.
Latinoamerica va un poquito mas alla de "la raza" lupillo.

What language do you think we brazilians speak ??? Of course we are latinos...Brazil, the whole south America, France,Portugal, Spain,Italy, Romenia are all latin languages....so they are all LATINOS....their languages have the Latim as a root.

@summeryrhythm
It is called "Ye Me Le" from the album of the same name around Thanksgiving 1969. Though not a huge hit (I don't recall the chart position), it was and still is a great song along with "The Look of Love", etc. I assume this clip was taken from the Andy Williams show long before MTV and Austin Powers ever existed.

Because music is universal. Brazilians are half-bred in blood as much as in culture. What should be "white" music? Chopin??? There's always place for all of us in the world...

@jiinxbeats yes music has no colour, but this music has a base in Afro Brazilian music. As for colour, unfortunately, it matters as much in Brazil as it does in the US or UK.

@AntW11 The really sad thing is anything with a AFRO anything attached has a negative conotations because of the Image the US has givin black people in the world. Also the Shame over the slave trade has caused peoples guild to turn to anger and hate and as a result though most of the music we listen to has roots in black culture people try to disregard this. Jazz, Blues, Bosa Nova, ROCK, POP, HIP HOP R&B YOU NAME IT! ...watch american television, black culture is becoming american culture

rotena25,
please don't see it as a ripopp. Sergio is very multicultural, which reflects the culture of Brasilia. Music is music. If it weren't for Sergio, I wouldn't love Blackeye Peas like I do. Don't you want us to be one? Yes, it's horrible when you consider the hows and whys of African culture's influence in Brasilian culture, but that merging, that symbiosis enriches us all! He can't help it that he's white any more than I can help being Chinese, Amerindian and Caucasion. Please bless Serg

Lani Hall. One of the great vocalists of all time. Ooooh, just drippingly fabulous voice. She stayed through many evolutions with Sergio's "Brasil" bands, remaining "the sound" of Sergio's most fabulous hit songs, through many of the most famed albums. She's so distinct, always memorable. Truly one of the world's great songstresses of all time.

I think it is still great music and purely coincidentally yesterday I bought the Universal Masters Collection CD Classic Sergio Mendes, with all the original Brazil 66 hits.Lani Halls vocals are brilliant.

Don't know about Karen or, later, Janice, but Lani definitely sang Portuguese phonetically (at that time, anyway). So let's forgive her if she didn't know Portuguese at that time. She breathed the soul of Brazilian culture, which made her Portuguese roll off her tongue on those songs she sang w/Sergio Mendes' Brasil '66. Also, that voice of hers: PURELY sent from the gods & goddesses, from Shango to Iemanja. I bow down to her, Sergio Mendes & his whole crew. Even when they were lip-syncing!

I'm a Texas-ex and, while on leave, went back to Austin just before I shipped out to Vietnam in 1968. My date got front row center tickets to a Brazil '66 concert. After the concert, we went backstage and I met and talked with Lani Hall. I fell in love with her from the first words she
spoke, "Well, hello."
She was chewing on a swizzle stick which I picked up when she put the glass down and I carried that with me all the way through two consecutive tours in Vietnam. It was my good luck charm.
