“Mas Que Nada” – Samba cover on Youtube

New cover: Brazilian Samba classic, “Mas Que Nada”!

I have loved this tune for a while now, and have been practising it on the keys for at least a year and a half. The musician who popularised this tune with Western audiences, Sérgio Mendes, passed this week, so it was an apt time to make this cover. Produced in Ableton Live.

Thank you to Andrea Ribeiro for teaching me Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation. FINALLY I (kind of) know how to sing these tunes I love…. which is so cool I can’t even. (Watch out, everyone…).
