The programme consists of laid-back beach bossa nova tunes. The opening track, “Stay”, is a true highlight, while “Beach Samba” is a wordless delight and “Canoeiro” rolls the Portuguese lyrics into a snaking rhythm. A real standout is “You Didn’t Have to Be So  Nice,” a duet with her then-six-year- old son. Gilberto’s vocals are backed  by a sumptuous Brazil pop-cum-U.S. orchestration feel (Ron Carter and Toots Thielemans are among the sidemen, as well as Brazilian stars Marcos Valle and Claudio Slon). Some of the more pop choices are also remarkable, particularly Tim Hardin’s gorgeous “Misty Roses.” \u003ci\u003eBeach Samba\u003c\/i\u003e was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elemental","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50469456052555,"sku":"2015909","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/product_id._d694c416_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727360918","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/beach-samba-i5ich4","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
