Marcos Valle

Here’s a serious dose of Brazilian boogie to get diggers rejoicing. Marcos Valle first released his self-titled album back in 1983, and now it’s been given a generous remaster and reissue treatment from Vampi Soul. It’s an album that glides from seriously funky party tracks to soft-focus ballads, with some of the sweet spots in between delivering the most memorable moments. Look no further than the slow but so damn groovy “Samba De Verao”, or if you prefer something with a bit more swing then “Naturalmente” has you covered. A gold dust rarity from the annals of Latin music history given a much-deserved dusting down.
