A few things are interesting about this EP: all four songs are in Spanish. Ivan & M's (a.k.a. M4) and Frida Boccara recorded these Spanish versions themselves - and they were also released on separate singles - but since there was no Spanish version of 'Desfolhada Portguesa' by Simone, it was recorded by a certain Madalena Iglesias, a Portuguese actress and singer who actually represented her country in 1966 with the song 'Ele e ela'.

1-This cover of "Desfolhada" is not in spanish! Simone had a spanish version (Deshojada). 2-Madalena Iglesias had a record contract with Belter since 1966. 3-Madalena Iglesias is not an actress. She only made a few movies due to her music success.
