Tomoko Soryo -- Juu-Ichi-ji no Samba(11時のサンバ)

 


The title of "Juu-Ichi-ji no Samba" (Samba at 11 o'clock) doesn't particularly specify whether it is AM or PM, but I can't really see a samba being danced about in the late morning or late night. And to be honest, despite the title along with the Latin whoops and percussion, I don't really get the feeling that the song follows a samba path.

Regardless, Tomoko Soryo's(惣領智子)first track on the B-side of her 1976 debut album "Yasashiku Aishite"(やさしく愛して...Love Me Gently) is a playful New Music tune which is light and airy, and it does reflect how the singer is looking on the cover of the album. It was written and composed by her with her then-husband Yasunori Soryo(惣領泰則)taking care of the arrangement.
