Junior Mendes

Musician

Junior Mendes is credited with the album Copacabana Sadia, presented in reviews as a cornerstone of Lincoln Olivetti's 1980s aesthetic and Brazilian adult-easy listening/AOR. The reviewer notes Mendes had a more productive career as a writer and studio man than as a singer and that the album functions as an obscure but significant example of that scene.

The available DeBaser review praises Junior Mendes' Copacabana Sadia as a key example of Brazilian adult-easy listening/AOR shaped by Lincoln Olivetti's 1980s aesthetic. The reviewer frames the record as a tropical counterpart to the West Coast/Yacht Rock sound and notes Mendes was better known as a writer/studio man than as a frontman. Recommended for listeners of obscure late-70s/early-80s Brazilian pop.

For:Fans of Brazilian 1970s-80s adult-easy listening, AOR, yacht rock and collectors of obscure pop records.

 Despite the absolutely anonymous appearance and a name like a thrusting fullback from the 1983-84 Avellino season, Junior Mendes boasts an album that can be defined as perfect in its genre.
