Description

Marcos Valle is one of the few artists you cannot miss if you have the slightest interest in Brazilian music. Whether your taste is focused on bossa jazz, samba, psych folk or soul, Valle has surely recorded a great album for you. His much sought-after and stunning self-titled album from 1970 includes 'Ele E Ela', as sampled on Jay-Z's 'Thank You', as well as some of his most popular songs like 'Freio Aerodinamico' and 'Os Grilos', swinging between sophistication and groove... Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl. This release is part of our new reissue series that comprises many other outstanding Brazilian classics by the likes of Evinha, Cassiano, Gerson King Combo, Hyldon... By the dawn of the 1970s, the multi-talented Valle was entering a new era, ready to test the government censors (Brazil was under strict military rule since a coup d'etat in 1964) and express a socially aware stance and a playful hodge-podge of musical styles including samba, bossa nova, baiao (a rhythmic beat from the rural northeast of Brazil), black American music, and rock. "Marcos Valle" was originally released in 1970 and features a dynamic musical backing from some of Brazil's most gifted players. Hip-hop fans may even recognize the opening horn blasts of 'Ele E Ela,' sampled to great effect on Jay-Z's "Thank You."
