I bought this album for £9.99 from my local Tescos not acctually knowing what i was buying. at this momment in time, music is no longer music, its it is has just gotten to a stage where men sing about there sex lives with with live big asses, and woman sing about how there men leave them for women with better asses than themselves, but when an album as orginal as Sergio Mendez's you can't help but think, thank god there is acctually someone out there who cares and thinks about what he's singing about...when you listen to his music, you can just feel that he thinks long and hard about the words he's bringing across. Each track consists of very lively spanish percusion.
Sergio mendez background Info.
Sergio Mendez was acctually born adn raised in Brazil. He has released Alot of those No.1 hits that you didn't know who sang them but knew the words too !! Many people mistake the person on the cover as him, but infact Sergio is much much older.

i like these the best because they are the liveliest - except 11. i like that one because it has mind blowing lyrics...
I useually never go out and buy a CD without never hearing it, but this CD was calling out to me, from the shelf, it was just like of that kinder bueno advert " eat me eat me" it was just saying, " buy me, buy me listen to me, listen to me..." so i just went with my instinct, and bought it...
i really advise you to buy this, and im not just saying it because it like it soo much, im saying it because i think that this album might change the peoples veiws in the worls like it has done to me...and listening to the album brings up so mzany different feelings which are just brilliant and an album like this derserves respect by the public and its derserves support and i think its just one of those albums, that every can enjoy, its got rap, slow song, sad songs, lively song, happy songs, its just an ablum that everyone can relate to...
Please buy this because of the reasons above, thank you for taking the time to read this review thank you all very much, please leave a nice comment, and if you do see the album in a shop or on the internet just consider buying it, because i think it would really enlighten your lives...!!! thank you xx
