This tune represents jazz’s Latin influences, this time in the form of a Samba. I love the lyrics, because they so accurately describe the dilemma we sometimes find ourselves in, namely, sacrificing our true selves, and instead creating a substitute image, of what we hope will gain us more recognition from the world we seek to be a part of.
