Marcos Valle is one of those artists you simply can't overlook if you have even a passing interest in Brazilian music. This second album by Marcos Valle (1965) is one of the foundational works of bossa nova. In fact, the record includes one of the most widely heard and covered Brazilian songs in history: 'Samba de Vero.' Highlights include the sophisticated beauty of songs like 'Preciso Aprender a Ser Só,' the rhythmic 3/4 feel of tracks such as 'Seu Encanto,' and the powerful 'Deus Brasileiro.' First vinyl reissue in over 50 years, pressed on 180g vinyl.
