On the show this week we celebrate the recent birthday of the newly-septuagenarian sovereign of sunny samba, Sergio Mendes. Expect lots of tunes by Sergio: from his early 60s Sextet through to his futuristically-named Brasil 66 and Brasil 77. We also have some tunes by musicians associated with Sergio Mendes and close with an extraordinary slice of Luk Krung from Thailand (which has nothing whatsoever to do with Sergio Mendes).
MC Zirconium advises that in order to best enjoy this week’s show you’ll need a factory-produced braided shock cord, a full body harness (combining a sit harness and a chest harness) and large drop.
