I love me some Sergio Mendes. I like the '60s stuff and the '70s stuff - the '80s saw him lose the Brazilian plot and turn to boring MOR schlock. Now don't get me wrong - I do occasionally enjoy some MOR schlock - just not Sergio's. Now if we're talking about some bass slapping, funky goodness like Mozambique I'm all over it. Groovy beats + funktastic bass + chanting = delicious!
