Marcos Valle - Marcos Valle

Reissue of the 1983 self titled album from Brazillian singer/songwriter Marcos Valle. It was arranged by the Brazilian boogie and soul legend Lincoln Olivetti and showcases a real who's who of Brazilian music at the time, with stellar performances from vocalists and musicians such as Rosana, Serginho Do Trombone, Robson Jorge and Oberdan Magalhes to name but a few. This was Marcos' second album, after having moved back to Brazil from his time living in Los Angeles, and that US influence is evident through its prominent boogie, soul and funk sounds. It also features collaborations with the US singer-songwriter, composer, pianist, keyboardist, and record producer, Leon Ware, who co-penned three tracks including hit single 'Estrelar'. To complete the album there are tracks such as 'Fogo Do Sol', which is pure AOR/Balearic vibes, and tracks that are more MPB and pop-inspired, making a well-balanced track list for both home-listening pleasure and dancefloor business.
