Eight Gigs: Sergio Mendes & Brasil 2017
Sat., Jan. 28, 7:30 p.m., Harris Center for the Arts, $29-$64
For those who’ve yet to indulge in Brazilian music fare, any record in Sergio Mendes’ vast catalog is a good place to start. The 75-year-old composer, producer and bandleader shows no signs of slowing down and still plays semi-regularly in the Bay Area. His 2014 album Magic is his latest—a Grammy-nominated record that features songwriting and collaborative efforts with such disparate artists as John Legend, Milton Nascimento, Carlinhos Brown and more. Whether you’re a newbie or a world music aficionado, Mendes’ music and crossover influence cannot be denied. 10 College Parkway in Folsom, www.sergiomendesmusic.com.
