Product Description

"Little Boat" is a charming tune that captures the essence of bossa nova, a genre that Roberto Menescal helped pioneer. The song, originally titled "O Barquinho" in Portuguese, was composed by Menescal and Ronaldo Bôscoli, with English lyrics provided by Buddy Kaye. It first sailed into the hearts of music lovers in the early 1960s, evoking images of a serene journey on a little boat with its gentle, lilting melody. Menescal's music often draws inspiration from the sea, and "Little Boat" is no exception, reflecting the tranquil beauty of the ocean and the simple joy of a peaceful sail. This song stands as a testament to Menescal's influence on Brazilian music and his ability to blend samba rhythms with the cool sophistication of jazz to create timeless classics that continue to resonate with audiences around the world.
