Black Eyed Peas involverade i brasilianskt samba

Jag var inne igår på gulanstore och blev alldeles till mig när jag hörde ny, fräsch musik i högtalarna... var tvungen att fråga vad det var och visade sig vara Sergio Mendes kommande skiva.

Sergio Mendes som i vanliga fall inte brukar ha något med hiphop att göra, har nu spelat in en skiva med en rad kända rapartister.

Sergio's name most likely means nothing to music fans born in the past 25 years, but the Black Eyed Peas founder wants to change that.

"For those who don't know, he's like the ambassador of Brazilian samba, bossa nova music," Will said backstage at a recent Peas show.

Will is producing Mendes' upcoming album, a star-studded affair similar to Santana's Supernatural smash and his two follow-ups.

Guests on Mendes' Timeless — which is due February 14 on Concord/Starbucks' Hear Music — include Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Q-Tip, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, India.Arie, the Roots, Chali 2na from Jurassic 5, dancehall star Mr. Vegas and more.

"I have Sergio Mendes, Pharoahe Monch and Justin Timberlake on a track," Will said. "Who would of ever thought of that combination? I mean this record is beautiful. It ain't like a club record where it's like, 'Oh, oh this muffin,' and next year it's like whatever, you wait for the next club record. This is like classic beautiful melodies. ... It's relaxing ... it's the make-love-slow record."
