Marcos' rapid and stunning artistic growth is apparent on this Bossa Nova classic. Fans of Sérgio Mendes and Astrud Gilberto (both of whom recorded tons of Valle's tunes) will enjoy it immensely, for \u003ci\u003eSamba '68\u003c\/i\u003e, with brilliant arrangements by Eumir Deodato, is definitely one of the ultimate \"loungey\" records. The album received a 4 1\/2 star rating on AllMusic，with reviewer John Bush stating that \"\u003ci\u003eSamba'68\u003c\/i\u003e is a vibrant set of Brazilian pop, indebted to bossa nova and samba but undeniably Americanised for a domestic audience. The result is a joyous album throughout. One of the best Brazilian crossovers of the 1960s.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57528897667455,"sku":"199957015127","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2825\/4773\/files\/Marcos-Valle-Samba-68.webp?v=1778845373","url":"https:\/\/vinilo.co.uk\/products\/marcos-valle-samba-68","provider":"Vinilo Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
