Genius Brazilian Music
Why rockjournalism,or the world for that matter, still havenīt acknowleged the genius music Marcos Valle made in the sixties and the seventies is a mystery completely beyond me. No one, in my opinion, have topped Valles vision and fusion of the brazilian sound (bossa-samba-soul-funk-jazz in valles case) coupled with his knack for an immaculate pop melody. Perhaps he isnīt as authentic as caetano,milton or gil to get the attention he deserves. Or maybe it is because valle is, in lack of a better word,a bit too fun to listen to. Well, itīs their loss and you can adjust it by downloading this superb album which collects the best bits from his groundbreaking work from 65 - 73 in brazil . Start with 71īs track Garra, a song that every man or woman alive should hear according to me, and iīll think you want the rest after that.
