Marcos Valle – Marcos Valle (Vinyl LP, Mr Bongo 2021 Reissue)

The Music Inside

This highly sought-after reissue revives Marcos Valle’s self-titled masterpiece from 1983, offering a vibrant blend of Brazilian boogie, soul, and funk. Arriving after Valle’s Los Angeles sojourn, the album reflects his collaboration with the legendary Leon Ware (“Dia D”) and features lush grooves like “Estrelar”, praised as “Brazilian workout music.” Produced with talents like Lincoln Olivetti and performed by top Brazilian session players (Rosana, Serginho Do Trombone, Robson Jorge, and Oberdan Magalhães), it's a perfect balance of Brazilian articulation and dancefloor-ready polish. Remastered from original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl, this Mr Bongo release brings classic disco-funk flair into modern clarity.
