about this song
Mas, que nada (literally, "but, that [is] nothing") means "come on", "no way", "whatever", or "yeah, right!" In many recordings, the title song is incorrectly written "Mais que nada", Portuguese for "more than nothing". The song was originally written and performed by Jorge Ben in 1963, which in a later cover version became the signature song of Sérgio Mendes. In the United States, it is one of a few Brazilian songs that is widely known. Mendes covered the song on his 1966 Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66 album.
