MONDAY MORNING MUSIC: ITALY/BRASIL: Jovanotti Sings Mendes.

                                       YOUTUBE/ 4:19 / foto montage


    "Luogo Comune"/Lugar Comun...sung by Jovanotti...composed by Sergio Mendes...from the Mendes CD: 'Encanto'.


     Until last week...I had never heard of the Italian singer Jovanotti (above).
     Sergio Mendes...well...he's a legend in the USA and Brasil.
     Now...I've fallen in love with this arrangement...hitting replay over and over.
     It has a great primal beat...bouncy...but also with a sensual female chorus.
     All written and arranged by Mendes in the wonderful Italian idioma.
     Maybe...it will captivate you too.
