Our Take

Sergio Mendes, the Brazilian maestro known for his smooth rhythms and killer grooves, is back with a remastered version of his classic album "The Swinger From Rio." And let me tell you, listening to this limited green and yellow vinyl pressing is like sipping on a caipirinha on a sunny beach in Copacabana.

Mendes, with his trademark blend of bossa nova and jazz, effortlessly takes you on a musical journey that is impossible to resist. The vibrant energy of tracks like "The Swinger From Rio" and "Lamento" will have you dancing around your living room, shaking your hips like it's Carnival in Rio.

The remastering on this album is top-notch, bringing out all the subtleties and nuances of Mendes' instrumentation. Each note sparkles and shimmers, transporting you to a tropical paradise where the breeze is warm and the music never stops.

But don't be fooled by the cheery vibes of this record – Mendes is a master at blending joy and melancholy, as seen in tracks like "So Danço Samba" and "Reza." The depth and complexity of his arrangements will leave you in awe, contemplating the beauty and pain of life itself.

So grab a mojito, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready to groove to the sounds of Sergio Mendes. "The Swinger From Rio" is a timeless classic that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection. Cheers to the king of Brazilian swing!
