“Mas Que Nada” is a vibrant Brazilian song written and originally recorded by Jorge Ben Jor in 1963. Fusing samba rhythms with infectious melodies, it became an international hit when Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66 released their celebrated version in 1966. Sung in Portuguese, the song’s catchy refrain and lively groove have made it a beloved classic, frequently covered and remixed by artists around the world, including a popular collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas.
