MARCOS VALLE 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Brazilian boogie lovers, this one is for you. Vontade De Rever Voce is an essential album from the pioneering Marcos Valle that was recorded when he returned to Brazil after living in the US and collaborating with the likes of Leon Ware and Chicago in Los Angeles. The album showcases plenty of the influences he picked up in America from funk and soul to jazz. For the sessions which make up this album, musicians such as Sivuca, Peter Cetera from Chicago, Robson Jorge, and Jose Roberto Bertrami from Azymuth all joined in to help elevate each tune.

Review: This superb collaboration between Marcos Valle, a legendary composer, and Azymuth, the innovative jazz-funk trio from Brazil, results in a dynamic fusion of bossa nova, samba, and jazz. Released in 1972, Fly Cruzeiro encapsulates the vibrant spirit of Brazilian music, transcending genres and capturing the essence of the country's musical landscape. It is one that is marked by Valle's soulful vocals, Azymuth's intricate instrumentation, and a rhythmic groove that epitomises the rich cultural tapestry of Brazil. All these years on, Fly Cruzeiro remains a timeless gem, showcasing the collective brilliance of two musical forces at the forefront of Brazil's music scene.
