"The king of Bossa Nova returns with his best album of the modern era. Many of these tracks sound strangely familiar, as if you’ve always known them, fresher and more immediate than ever inValle’s modern renaissance on Far Out Recordings. This album – Record Label: Far Out Style: Latin

Artist: Marcos Valle

Lyrics in Portuguese & English + The follow-up album to Brazilian singer, songwriter, and musician Marcos Valle's 1970's self-titled long player, Garra continues to express a socially aware stance combined with a playful hodge-podge of samba, bossa nova, baiao (a rhythmic beat from the rural northeast of Brazil), black American music, and psychedelic rock. Marcos and lyricist brother Paulo Sergio recorded the disc with some of Brazil's top studio musicians and created the pair's most overtly political statement. Recorded amongst sessions for a steady stream of popular TV novella soundtracks-a side gig for the sun-kissed composer-the results tested the military led government's hand picked sensors, looking over the country's art and music with sharp eyes for critical or objectionable content. Unfortunately, some of Valle's peers didn't' fare as well and were either exiled (like Tropicália movement icons Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso in 1969) or fled the country for the United States or Europe. Garra was originally released in 1971 and brought us the rare groove classic "Wanda Vidal," heralded by UK, European, and Japanese music fans years after the disc's initial release. Amidst an intoxicating mix of instruments, vocals, and orchestration, it's a deep cut on an even deeper document. Any way you spin it, we at Light In The Attic are extremely proud to present Garra as part of our four-album Marcos Valle reissue campaign. Consisting of an ambitious string of early 1970s landmark studio sessions (sympathetic in spirit to Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye's game changing work from the same era) and released on CD and LP, Garra features extensive liner notes by San Francisco-based writer Allen Thayer (Wax Poetics) with exclusive interview content and song-by-song breakdown from Marcos himself. Fans new and old will finally have easy breezy access to these once hard-to-find Brazilian classics. Tackling topic from Presidential corruption, rampant consumerism, and the black power movement, Garra is a welcome addition to any South American friendly record collection and sits proudly with the best of Brazil. File after Os Mutantes and before Caetano Veloso. Record Label: Lightintheattic Style: Latin

Lyrics in Portuguese & English ++ Evolving from samba's percussive pulse in the late 1950s, bossa nova (literal translation: new trend), is Brazil's internationally accepted gift to the global melting pot of music. Initially brought to prominence by the likes of Antônio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto, and Joao Donato, by the mid-1960s, there was an emerging pool of youthful talent ready to make their voices heard. Marcos Valle and his lyricist brother Paulo Sergio were no exception. After signing to Odeon Records (a subsidiary of EMI) the pair penned a classic of the South American songbook, "Samba De Verao"-known in English as "So Nice (Summer Samba)." A musical trip to the United States in 1966, where the singer worked with Sergio Mendes and jazz giant Verve Records, provided even more inspiration. By the dawn of the 1970s, the multi-talented Valle was entering a new era, ready to test the government censors (Brazil was under strict military rule since a coup d'état in 1964) and express a socially aware stance and a playful hodge-podge of musical styles including samba, bossa nova, baiao (a rhythmic beat from the rural northeast of Brazil), black American music, and rock. Marcos Valle was originally released in 1970 and not only features a seductive cover image of Marcos reading the local papers with a bottle of liquor on a side table, but a dynamic musical backing from some of Brazil's most gifted players. Hip-hop fans may even recognize the opening horn blasts of "Ele E Ela," sampled to great effect on Jay Z's "Thank You." Any way you spin it, we at Light In the Attic are extremely proud to present Marcos Valle as part of our four-album Marcos Valle reissue campaign. Consisting of an ambitious string of early 1970s landmark studio sessions (sympathetic in spirit to Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye's game changing work from the same era) and released on CD and LP, Marcos Valle (including a rare bonus track on the CD version) features extensive liner notes by San Francisco-based writer Allen Thayer (Wax Poetics) with exclusive interview content and song-by-song breakdown from Marcos himself. Fans new and old will finally have easy breezy access to these once hard-to-find Brazilian classics. With legendary progressive rock group Som Imaginário backing the Valle brothers' animated music and lyrics, Marcos Valle is a welcome addition to any South American friendly record collection and sits proudly with the best of Brazil.
