The iconic sound of Sergio Mendes returns to the stage, performed by the musicians who stood beside him. The Sergio Mendes Band toured and performed alongside the maestro. They are led by Gracinha Leporace, Mendes' wife and vocal partner of over 50 years. Before his passing in 2024, Mendes called this group the best band he ever had. Marking 60 years since the debut of Brasil '66, the band continue Mendes' lifelong mission of sharing the vibrant rhythms and infectious soul of Brazilian music with audiences around the world.

With a sound that blends timeless Brazilian grooves with fresh arrangements and uplifting energy, The Sergio Mendes Band bring a renewed sense of celebration to every performance. Each note pays tribute to Mendes’ remarkable influence and a career that helped shape a global appreciation of bossa nova, samba and the unmistakable warmth of Brazilian culture.

The ensemble features:
Gracinha Leporace and Katie Hampton – vocals
Leo Costa – drums
Gibi dos Santos – percussion
Kleber Jorge – guitar & vocals
Andre de Santanna – bass
Scott Mayo – keys, saxophone, flute & vocals
Jamieson Trotter – piano

Together, the artists uphold Mendes’ vision of spreading joy through music by performing with the passion, precision and energy that captivated global audiences for over six decades.

The Sergio Mendes Band invite longtime fans and new listeners alike to experience the sounds that defined generations. Through their shows, they honor Mendes' enduring message that music has the power to unite, uplift and bring people together from every part of the world.


This show will be performed in English and Portuguese.
