The Music of Sergio Mendes (WA)
Doors 6pm
Show 7:30pm
Iconic and irresistable Brazilian rhythms – get to The Ellington to hear classic tunes by Brazilian superstar Sergio Mendes! Making his name back in the 1960s with his group ‘Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66’, he went on to become the undisputed master of pop-inflected Brazilian Jazz.
Listening to hit tunes like Mas Que Nada and Ultima Batucada, you’ll be whisked away to the 60s and 70s to bossa nova cool and then get grooving in your seat (or on your feet!) to the infectious rhythms of Brazil.
Sergio Mendes was a prodigious arranger, composer and musician, and this show dedicated to his music highlights his incredible legacy.
This special event will feature the extraordinary talents of Victoria Newton, Georgie Aué and Marcio Mendes along with a killer rhythm section – this is a night not to be missed! Guaranteed you’ll leave shuffling the samba, with an infectious grin!
