Mas Que Nada celebrates 40 years since Sergio Mendes’ phenomenal album Brasil ‘66 and brings the Black Eyed Peas along. It may be familiar to you from the Nike ad to celebrate the World Cup. This is a catchy sing-a-long song that helped Latin-pop music break the American charts in 1966 (when England won the World Cup last!). Mas Que Nada is sung in Portuguese but that won’t stop people trying to sing the chorus and dancing to the salsa themed music. Sergio Mendes was a legend back in the day and it’s time to bring him back to the UK charts.
