Herb Alpert on Instagram: "Sergio Mendes was my brother from another country passed away quietly and peacefully. He was a true friend and extremely gifted musician who brought Brazilian music in all its iterations to the entire world with elegance a joy… Herb Alpert........ International music icon Sergio Mendes, who brought the joyous sounds of his native Brasil to the world, passed away peacefully on September 5, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. He was 83 years old. His wife and musical partner for the past 54 years, Gracinha Leporace Mendes, was by his side, as were his loving children. Mendes last performed in November 2023 to sold out and wildly enthusiastic houses in Paris, London and Barcelona. For the last several months, his health had been challenged by the effects of long term COVID. One of the most internationally successful Brasilian artists of all time, Mendes recorded more than 35 albums, many of which went gold or platinum. Mendes, a three-time Grammy® Award winner and Oscar® nominee, leaves us with an incredible musical legacy from more than six decades of a unique sound first showcased by his band Brasil ’66. @sergiomendesmusic"
