Why watch this film?
Substitute 'Sergio Mendes no Tom da Alegria' with 'Sergio Mendes in the Key of Joy'. Translate to US English the following text: Sérgio Mendes is one of the biggest names in Brazilian music, responsible for "Americanizing" MPB and making genuine Brazilian rhythms gain a more international look. In 'Sergio Mendes in the Key of Joy' we are presented with Mendes' life, showing better his journey, his career and memorable professional and personal moments -- including a fun scene of the musician singing with Pelé. It's a quite banal documentary in its form, with a succession of interviews and archive images, but it has an effect when honoring Sérgio Mendes and his work.
