Summer Samba is a bossa nova composed in 1964 by brothers Marcos and Paulo Sérgio Valle and is one of the best known Brazilian songs, performed and recorded around the world.

Lyrics of this song in English:

"Someone to hold me tight That would be very nice
Someone to love me right That would be very nice
Someone to understand Each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand To be a team with me
So nice, life would be so nice If one day I'd find
Someone who would take my hand And samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to Give love a start with me
Oh yes, that would be so nice Should it be you and me I can see it could be nice"

Here the music student will have several opportunities to put into practice many of the things he learned with improvisation. Bossa nova is a very fertile ground for advanced harmony learning.

In this backing track we have drums, bass, piano and guitar. The tempo is 130bpm, a speed well suited to that pace.
