And then yesterday I asked Teresa to select a few Valle CDs to have in the car for a while. She picked <i>Samba &#8217;68<\/i>, his US Major label debut, <i>Vento Sul<\/i>, his most out there album (a 1972 collaboration with Som Imaginario and others, which flopped at the time, but has now, and quite rightly, garnered a cult status), and &nbsp;<i>Escape<\/i>, a 2001 release on the Far Out label.<\/p>\n<p>All three of these albums are superb, and share a lot musically, whilst also covering a vast and diverse territory. One thing that really struck me was how good <i>Escape<\/i> is. I&#8217;m rather prejudiced against modern &#8216;world&#8217; music versions of what I regard as classic &#8217;70s stuff. And I don&#8217;t much like when artists of that vintage allow themselves to be seduced by the trappings of trendy modern production (e.g. programmed rhythm tracks, or DJ-scratching, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately Valle&#8217;s musical spirit overcomes any such prejudices, and what we have here is totally organic anyway. The video atop this post is from Feb, 2016, and finds Marcos fronting a tight little band, just a bass, drums and keys trio, essentially, with the addition of a two-piece horn section and a lady singer. They play a superb mixed selection of old and new stuff, and it all sounds totally fresh and groovy. What a talent Marcos is! And what a great band.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the set list:<\/p>\n<p>0:00 Samba De Verao<br \/>\n4:35 Garra<br \/>\n7:22 A Paraiba Nao Chicago<br \/>\n11:44 Arranca Toco<br \/>\n15:05 Mentira<br \/>\n18:41 Os Grillos<br \/>\n23:57 Estrelar<br \/>\n28:54 Parabens<br \/>\n35:30 Batucada<br \/>\n38:36 Freio Aerodinamico<br \/>\n44:19 Esperando O messias<br \/>\n48:11 Bar Ingles<br \/>\n53:29 Estatica<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of my last post I was mentioning how I hadn&#8217;t really kept up with Valle&#8217;s more recent music.
