Overall Meaning

The song "Mais Que Nada" by Brasil '66 encourages listeners to let go of their worries and join in the lively samba celebration. The lyrics exude a sense of confidence, urging those in the way to move aside so the singer can pass and dance to the beat. The samba is described as a mix of maracatu, which is a type of music originating from Northeast Brazil, and a "samba de preto velho," which translates to "samba of old black man." This reference to black cultural traditions reinforces the identity and history of the samba genre.

Back in the 60s music scene, Brazilians were the coolest people on the planet- Astrud Gilberto in "The Girl From Ipanema", then Sergio Mendes. The sound was way ahead of its time and still sounds fresh today.

@TV-ud6sq

1y↑38

Hey! Brazilian music is one of the things I'm most proud of in my country. Unfortunately, the 1960s and 1970s were particularly sad here in Brazil. There was a lot of repression by the ultra-right dictatorial regime supported and financed by the United States. Great artists like Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa and Elis Regina were severely persecuted and had to flee the country as they could be arrested, tortured or killed. It is with happiness that we live in times of democracy here in Brazil, at the same time that we feel a certain anguish with the radicalization of our society. But I hope the storm ends someday.

Greetings from Curitiba, in the south of Brazil.

Um…hate to burst your bubble. But they were definitely not really singing and really playing in this clip. They basically just played the actual track from the album and pretended because it was for TV. Back then the expectation was that you were just sing along with your actual track. Many bands would smarten up to that and then demand to be able to play live, but most TV executives wouldn’t allow it.

This was a track on the first Ep vinyl disk I ever bought. My lifelong love of Brazilian music was only consolidated by living in Brazil for a few months mainly In Salvador da Bahia where I met some famous musicians such as Luis Melodia and Milton Nascimento. When I came back to Australia I presented a weekly community radio programme on Brazilian music, founded the annual South American Festival of Music and Dance at the Bondi Pavilion and became Social Director of Sydney's own Escola do Samba. I was also fortunate to meet Egberto Gismonti and Nana Vasconcelos when they were performing in Sydney. There is something about Brazilian music that just nourishes my soul and always makes me smile.

Foi uma linda experiência.

Only one singing. Herb's wife Iani (closest to the band). Her voice was recorded twice. Other lady was just there for effect

@BrettBaker

Especially amazing since there were no microphones in sight for either the singers or instruments except for the one in front of Sergio which was used after the song was over so we so we could hear him speak. https://youtu.be/ahs7Lb7aYco?t=185 I'm not knocking them. This is the way TV was and for the most part, still is done; pre-recorded audio with lip syncing.

Não dá para comparar Sergio Mendes nos anos 60/70 com as 'coisas' que temos hoje na música brasileira e as poucas coisas boas que ainda temos estão simplesmente esquecidas. Infelizmente isto ocorre não só com nossa musica, mas parece que o fenomeno é mundial, não é por nada que cada vez mais se encontra em filmes de hoje velhas músicas do século passado.
