Sergio Mendes

Encanto

Review: Renowned Brazillian musician, Sergio Mendes covers global ground in Encanto.  Though he features artists from Latin countries, Belgium, Italy, Japan, and the U.S., the soundscape is certainly laid on a foundation of Brazillian fixtures.  Sergio-and-friends (artists like Juanes, Zap Mama, Carlinhos Brown, Fergie, and Natalie Cole), take on familiar favorites that are as refreshing as spring rain.
