There he grew up among a colorful community of Malians, Senegalese, Guineans&#8230; and of course, Cape Verdeans. Attending a catholic school, he discovered his liking for singing, which he developed throughout parties and village festivals. Later Gerard gained stage experience in several Dakar&#8217;s night-clubs as\u00a0the Black &amp; White, The Marseille, The Alabama and in some disreputable bars. But who cares! It felt good playing live and making some money.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEigq49beA16pCm6ehQlpGTgLGEExptqCBvaBt55bO6CtRKtOWfXCujI-Q5ukUkxKqOHrgv_qQ4gUxaK053_iEDlT569a4t4I5UzcxlCFK5YoEEs2zQdalSKInbX1I-kDEpt_BM9AAF9cRE\/s1600\/dakar+1972.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1109\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"276\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEigq49beA16pCm6ehQlpGTgLGEExptqCBvaBt55bO6CtRKtOWfXCujI-Q5ukUkxKqOHrgv_qQ4gUxaK053_iEDlT569a4t4I5UzcxlCFK5YoEEs2zQdalSKInbX1I-kDEpt_BM9AAF9cRE\/s400\/dakar+1972.jpg\" width=\"400\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\nIn that period his repertoire consisted of a mix of styles ranging from popular Beatles and Rolling Stones songs, to Rhythm &amp; Blues, Salsa and Caribbean music styles.\u00a0He sang in French and in\u00a0phonetic English or Spanish. In 1967 when he founded together with one of his brothers his first band -The Beryls- slowly his plans started to take shape.\u00a0 It marked the start of an exciting period of travelling to perform in bars, clubs and on festivals all over Senegal.\u00a0After a number of years in which he further developed his musical skills, Gerard decided to broaden his horizon and left for Paris. In the lively Parisian Afro-Caribbean music scene he met several musical compatriots. This led in 1977 to the creation by Gerard, his younger brother Jean Claude and some friends among who Emmanuel Lima, from a 100% Cape Verdean band &#8220;<strong>Cabo Verde Show<\/strong>&#8220;. The fresh and modern sound of the new band hit a sensitive string in the Cape Verdean diaspora in Europe and soon Cabo Verde Show became the most popular band\u00a0in the\u00a0Cape Verdean communities in France and the Netherlands. The creation of Cabo Verde Show marked a decisive step in the musical career of Gerard Mendes. Through the musical encounter with fellow countrymen of this Dakar-born Cape Verdean with his predilection for so many different musical styles, the desire to write songs in his\u00a0native Cape Verdean Creole\u00a0language aroused.\u00a0We can hear the result of this musical change on the second Cabo Verde Show LP, which contains four compositions by Gerard Mendes written in the Creole language, which were all well received by the Cape Verdean community. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiKSCOTdBvw5LKO1AAXL1BFHv38tPxydhzdnsE-0McpFpfflNl0ceQ-4_7XB6thujsLYZvmCpmdE4i650LEfkfWJyRSAdFU5ieWBbCJa1MYz_PiKvz5PzA4pqD_gOP-kPM_H_30rINcgrQ\/s1600\/1980a.png\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"753\" data-original-width=\"727\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiKSCOTdBvw5LKO1AAXL1BFHv38tPxydhzdnsE-0McpFpfflNl0ceQ-4_7XB6thujsLYZvmCpmdE4i650LEfkfWJyRSAdFU5ieWBbCJa1MYz_PiKvz5PzA4pqD_gOP-kPM_H_30rINcgrQ\/s400\/1980a.png\" width=\"384\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\nIn 1980 he leaves Cabo Verde Show to form a new group together with his brother Jean-Claude: <strong>&#8220;Mendes &amp; Mendes&#8221;.<\/strong> The new formation is less successful then Cabo Verde Show, but Gerard wants more individual space to refine his talents and develop his musical desires. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj3Af20cc1GgIeFFrxqPrkrtUv05dV6zLbGIB34Fo-weVBkh2eNg-HtTNopJhl2cm17-uuv7kSaKbNg60ntDJPAMOR77KQLc3Eod4FJWKR2muQnGt9f4_tEUEVk0JMvweUOeFmcmHvadU8\/s1600\/1981d.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"600\" data-original-width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj3Af20cc1GgIeFFrxqPrkrtUv05dV6zLbGIB34Fo-weVBkh2eNg-HtTNopJhl2cm17-uuv7kSaKbNg60ntDJPAMOR77KQLc3Eod4FJWKR2muQnGt9f4_tEUEVk0JMvweUOeFmcmHvadU8\/s400\/1981d.jpg\" width=\"400\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\nA few years later, Gerard Mendes finally\u00a0continues completely\u00a0solo under the new artist\u00a0name: &#8220;<strong>Boy G\u00e9 Mendes&#8221;<\/strong>, the pet name he got as a young boy from his youth friends in Dakar.
