I am very proud to be Brazilian. I love our people, music, beachs, capoeira, we have beatiful places, womans, foods, Rio de Janeiro ( you can imagine this? - thanks god...), and Sérgio Mendes!

damn lani is hot

[navaes]

Mendes was signed by A&M mostly because Herb Alpert (the "A" from A&M) fell in love at first sight with Lani. But then, who wouldn't ? - a beutiful girl with a voice that takes you to heaven. Btw, they are still married!

Puts Glenn Cambels version to shame.

@caravaggio31 You are right. The blonde in this video isn't Janis Hansen, but Karen Philipp who replaced Hansen on beginning 1968. After leaving SM&B66 group, Janis Hansen together with the percussionist Jose Soares formed another group called "The Carnival", who recorded only one album.

@hardbossa I mean Hansen not Jansen.

[caravaggio31]

@hardbossa Yeah you're right. Gracinha and Leni have some resemblance and is Lani on this video. But the blonde one isn't Jansen but Karen Phillips who joined th group after Jansen pursued a solo career.

Gracinha only joined the group in 70/71 and this video is from 69.

@caravaggio31 The brunette singer on this video, is Lani Hall for sure. The original line-up of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 included Lani Hall and Janis Hansen as the female vocalists. Wanda de Sá and Rosinha de Valença belonged to the previous Sergio's group Brasil '65.

if I ever had my mind to wonder .. i'd rather have this music play in mind,

than the trash of today's music.

@superstrut75 Actually, one of them, the brunette one, Gracinha Leporace, was his wife :-)

[caravaggio31]

@1emmain I dont think the brunette singer is Lani Hall but Gracinha Leporace, Mendes' wife and singer to Mendez until nowadays. In fact, neither of them, Hall, Leporace or Jansen were the original line-up of Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66.

They are two Brazilian Bossa Nova singers Wanda de Sá and Rosinha de Valença.

Stunning combination of Lani and Karen's voices in this one. My goodness they were talented. One of the greatest popular music groups of that period.
