Wednesday, February 22, 2012: Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Mas Que Nada

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, the traditional season of fasting and self-denial for many of the world's Christian communities.

Much of the world prepares for Lent by throwing massive parties.

If you weren't able to go to Carnival in Rio, which ended yesterday by the way, then here's a little classic taste of what you missed.

Enjoy. And no more having fun until after Easter, ok?
