I have always liked Sergio Mendes as an artist, but had never seen him perform live. I was not disappointed. He had a good support band with good singers, played some classics; Girl from Ipanema, Magalenha and Berimbau and upbeat versions of other classics Samba da Bencao and Mas Que Nada being a couple of them. Would definitely go and see him again. The venue was not overcrowded but I am sure will be next time if he ever returns to the indigo O2, through word of mouth.
One downer though: The DJ did not do enough to warm the crowd up. Found him a bit
boring because he did not play any upbeat bossa or samba beats.
He seemed limited.
Mustn't complain though . Sergio made up for the DJs deficiency! A Good Nite Was Had.
