"Mas que nada" (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [ma(j)s ki ˈnadɐ]) is a Brazilian song written by Jorge Ben (currently known as Jorge Ben Jor) and originally recorded in 1962 by Carioca Bossa Nova musician & bandleader Zé Maria on the album Tudo Azul - Bossa E Balanço, with Jorge Ben singing lead vocals across the album. Jorge Ben recorded his own version the following year on his debut album Samba esquema novo, which was also released as a single. The song was covered first by several other prominent Brazilian artists in the following years including by Tamba Trio in 1963 and Luis Carlos Vinhas in 1964. But finally within the anglosphere in 1966 by USA-based Sérgio Mendes, using much of the arrangement of the version by Luis Carlos Vinhas, and becoming one of Mendes' signature works. It was voted by the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone as the fifth-greatest Brazilian song.[1] It was inducted to the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2013.[2]

José Prates song

[edit | edit source]

In 1958, Brazilian artist José Prates recorded a track called "Nanã Imborô" that appears on his album Tam... Tam... Tam...! (1958, Polydor Brasil – LPNG 4.016), which features the underlying melody and vocalizations later used by Jorge Ben in "Mas que nada"; these motifs would be further highlighted by Sergio Mendes’ arrangement in his version of the song in 1966.[3][4][5][6]

Sérgio Mendes versions

[edit | edit source]

Sérgio Mendes covered the song with his band Brasil '66 on their debut album, Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (1966). In the United States, the single reached number 47 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number four on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. In Canada it reached number 54.[7] Outside of Brazil this 1966 version is better known than Jorge Ben's original and, to many, the definitive version of the song.[8][9] In 1989, Mendes re-recorded the song on his album Arara.

In 2006, Mendes again re-recorded the song, this time with American musical group the Black Eyed Peas and additional vocals by Mendes' wife, Gracinha Leporace, for his album Timeless. This version contains a sample of the Black Eyed Peas' 2004 single "Hey Mama".[11] The song topped the charts of Hungary and the Netherlands and peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart. This version was included in the 2011 animated film Rio (along with another version recorded in the style of Brasil '66 and also coincidentally featured one of the members, will.i.am, with a voice role in the film as Pedro the red-crested cardinal, one of the main characters of the film) and its soundtrack.[12]
