Marcos Valle

I'm not talking about, uh, Águas de Março, Waters of March.

I'm talking about Estrelar by Marcos Valle, which is, uh, has one of the best basses out there, and, uh, well, of-- also was made, uh, with Leon Ware, which is a legendary American musician, too, way back in the eighties.

Some really, really, really good stuff.

So yeah, they went in, uh, take a listen to this one.

And, uh, yeah, it's, it's just a vibe here.

It's just a groove.

Take a listen to Estrelar by Marcos Valle.

[música funk]

Can, uh, "Knocking on, uh, Heaven's Door", uh, this is a bossa Dylan by Bahia, 2019.

"Mustang Cor de Sangue", this is from Marcos Valle, 1969, Odeon Records.

Vermelho, uh, "Pássaro Sonhador", Fafá de Belém, 1996.

And at the top of the hour, "Charlie Brown", this is from Benito di Paula, 1974.

It's jazz that is a little bit acid, and, uh, w- whatever acid means to you.

[upbeat music] So yes, and, uh, well, speaking of acid jazz, next up, the, the next track here is by Marcos Valle, and I think this would be maybe an acid jazz track.

Maybe.

Well, this one is b- from the album Estática from, from 2010, and this is his fourth work with the record label Far Out Recordings.

[upbeat music] So yes, if you wanna discover some music, especially some music that, uh, well, fits the vibe of, uh, of the show here, of Copacabana Connection, the, the, I don't know, these groovy things, these jazzy things, the things that, that you listen to and wanna dance, you know, this kind of stuff, uh, Far Out Recordings and Mr. Bongo have a ton of that.

Browse their catalog, pick a couple albums to listen to, and, uh, I guarantee you'll probably have a, gonna have a blast, if you choose the right ones, of course.

[upbeat music] So yes, if I'm not mistaken, Marcos Valle released this one called Estática s- uh, another one called Sempre, his most recent album, Túnel Acústico, all of those through Far Out, Far Out Recordings, and, uh, well, Marcos Valle is just something else.

He keeps getting better and better and better and better.

I'm going to play some snippets of these tracks here just so you guys can get a taste of what they are all about.

But, well, some of my favorite artists, Gilberto Gil, Tim Maia, Sander de Sá, Ed Motta, Marcos Valle, all of them worked with Robson Jorge and Lincoln Oliveira and made some of my favorite tracks from Brazilian music, period.

Like this one, which is one of my favorite tracks from Ed Motta called Daqui Pro Meio.

Of course, composed and arranged by Robson Jorge and Lincoln

Puts on a smile on my face and makes me, I don't know, want to dance and, well, do all of that.

Okay, let's just jump into some really, really quick ones here because I'm already talking way too much.

But that's Bicicleta, for example, by Marcos Valle, also arranged by Lincoln Olivetti.

This one is...

Then the great Doris Day with Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps.

Then we had Marcos Valle with Pepino Beach.

Followed by the Rivieras and their track California Sun.

Then all the way from Japan, we had Michiko Hamamura and her track Cachito.
