Samba de Orly is a Brazilian MPB song written by Chico Buarque and Toquinho, with Vinícius de Moraes also contributing. It was composed between 1969 and 1970, first recorded in 1971, and released on Chico Buarque's album Construção. The track lasts about 2 minutes and 40 seconds and was issued by Phonogram-Philips, produced by Roberto Menescal. The song reflects Chico Buarque's period of self-imposed exile in Italy during Brazil's military dictatorship, an era that began after the AI-5 crackdown; Toquinho joined him in Italy, and the collaboration produced this piece. The title refers to Orly airport in France, symbolizing the gateway for exiled Brazilians heading to Europe. The lyrics were initially censored and a line was altered to pass, with the final version released in October 1971.
