(A saudação a Sergio Mendes!)
Sergio, 1983
Introduction
Sergio, 1983
Introduction
I feel like someone who has just discovered a treasure. No, I'm not totally new to Sergio Mendes, but I am new to all his various styles of musicianship as evidenced by the albums he has produced spanning four decades. For years, all the Mendes I owned consisted of The Brasil '66 Greatest Hits album. I liked it a lot, but I didn't investigate SM further due to my devotion to other musicians--and as a result, just never got around to hearing all the music that is Sergio Mendes. Until now. I got so inspired after hearing some of the early instrumental albums made in Brazil that I just had to put this tribute website together in his honor. I will keep exploring all there is about this terrific musician, arranger, and producer in endeavoring to keep this site updated. I will include new releases and news of Sergio's doings as it becomes available. Welcome to The Salute to Sergio Mendes!

Below you will find a PayPal button for your
convenience to donate funds so that I can meet my costs for keeping the
sites online. I am a verified member of PayPal. I neither
accept nor solicit outside advertising to be placed on any of the
artist pages, nor will I ever do so. Advertising totally
intrudes on what I want to achieve with these sites. I am most
happy to provide my time and energy in adding to and updating these
sites on a daily basis, but I need help in paying for the internet
space, internet provider, and domain name registration year after
year. These costs are not insignificant. My discographies - which now span many music artists as well as two music journalists - make up
well over 500 pages of internet information! They are the
largest discographies of their kind on the entire internet.
Please consider donating if you have found these discographies to be a
worthwhile resource for yourself or for your organization. Thank
you.
