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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album documents a meeting point between Brazilian popular music and international pop-jazz studio practice at the end of the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54075083293018,"sku":"95701512","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/marcos-valle-samba-68.jpg?v=1777371852","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/marcos-valle-samba-68-vinyl","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
