With over 150 recorded compositions and 40 plus albums to their production credit, the Mendes Brothers are one of the leading forces behind the modern arrangement and production of Cape Verdean and Lusophone African music. Cesaria Eveora, Bana, Tito Paris, Waldemar Bastos, andKafala Brothers are amongst the major Lusophone artists produced by the Mendes Brothers. In 2006, the President and the Government of Cape Verde awarded the Mendes Brothers the country’s highest civilian medals, Order of Volcano and the Metal of Merits, respectively, for their invaluable contribution to the culture of Cape Verde. As humanitarians, the Mendes Brothers are one of the principal voices promoting peace and unity in the most challenging and remote regions of Africa, including Angola, Mozambique and Guinea Bissau. Expanding their humanitarian efforts, in 2009 the Mendes Brothers founded Music And Life Foundation, a non-profit charity dedicated to harnessing the unifying essence of music to promote: Peace, Education, Health, Eradication of Poverty and Cultural Development, around the world.
