Só Quero Quem Me Quer / Vai... Vai... Que Eu Vou Também / Marisa / Vamos Sambar De Mancinho

Released in 1979 on the independent Solemar label, this record represents a niche but spirited entry in the Brazilian samba and pagode landscape of the late seventies. During this era, many artists associated with the vibrant suburban samba circuits of Rio de Janeiro sought to document their work through smaller, specialized record labels that served the growing demand for authentic, grassroots sambas that sat outside the polished, mainstream MPB industry.

The record features Joãozinho Maravilha, a performer whose work reflects the traditional cadences of the samba de partido-alto. The production focus on these tracks was to capture the spontaneity of the roda de samba, favoring rhythmic drive and lyrical wordplay over complex studio orchestration. While the record is relatively obscure today, it serves as a historical artifact of the community-centered musical culture that defined the aesthetic of the Solemar catalog during its period of operation.
