In 1975, under the oppressive air of military dictatorship in Brazil, brothers Lelo and Zé Eduardo Nazario invited bassist Zeca Assumpção to join their musical experiments in a basement under Sao Paulo’s Teodoro Sampaio Street. As teenagers, the trio had already been playing together in #HermetoPascoal’s Grupo, alongside guitarist Toninho Horta and saxophonist #NivaldoOrnelas, and it was while working together under Hermeto’s direction that the Paulista rhythm section (as they were then known) began to realise their own potential.

Sergio Mendes Presents Lobo is a 1971 album by Edu Lobo, produced by Sergio Mendes.

Billboard magazine reviewed the album in their April 24, 1971 issue and wrote that ''To Say Goodbye' and 'Ponterio' are outstanding vocals'.

Richard S. Ginnell reviewed the reissue of the album for Allmusic and wrote that the album 'overflows with cunningly devised, first-class tunes' and that Lobo excelled at the use of 'sharp scatted syllables' in place of lyrics on some of the songs. Ginnell highlighted #HermetoPascoal's 'playful and enigmatic electric piano and flute multiphonics' and the 'multifaceted percussion talents' of Airto Moreira. Ginnell concluded that 'Collectors of Brazilian jazz should seek this one out; it is absolutely essential'.
