Already established in Brazil through songs such as “Samba de Verao” (“Summer Samba”), Valle worked here with producer Creed Taylor on a recording that pairs Brazilian rhythmic forms with contemporary American studio orchestration. The sessions include vocals by Anamaria Valle and arrangements by Eumir Deodato. The repertoire features English-language versions of compositions co-written by Valle, including “So Nice (Summer Samba),” “Chup Chup, I Got Away,” and “Safely In Your Arms,” alongside additional material that reflects his economical writing and feather-light rhythmic approach. The album documents a meeting point between Brazilian popular music and international pop-jazz studio practice at the end of the 1960s. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout The Artist:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInitially brought to prominence by the likes of Antônio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, and João Donato, by the mid-1960s, there was an emerging pool of youthful talent ready to make their voices heard. Marcos Valle and his lyricist brother Paulo Sergio were no exception. After signing to Odeon Records (a subsidiary of EMI) the pair penned a classic of the South American songbook, “Samba De Verão”—known in English as “So Nice (Summer Samba).” A musical trip to the United States in 1966, where the singer worked with Sergio Mendes and jazz giant Verve Records, provided even more inspiration. By the dawn of the 1970s, the multi-talented Valle was entering a new era, ready to test the government censors (Brazil was under strict military rule since a coup d’état in 1964) and express a socially aware stance and a playful hodge-podge of musical styles including samba, bossa nova, baião (a rhythmic beat from the rural northeast of Brazil), black American music, and rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Answer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrickets Sing For Anamaria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Nice (Summer Samba)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChup Chup I Got Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf You Went Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePepino Beach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Told Me She Told Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Time To Sing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatucada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Face I Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafely In Your Arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Marcos Valle","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":45745761157311,"sku":"UMGD-199957015127-BK","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/199957015127_974x_212da893-52ff-4de8-a005-d9ca7f4033b4.jpg?v=1781769928","url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/products\/marcos-valle-samba-68-verve-vault-series-lp","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
