History
Marcos Valle built his sound on sunny, sophisticated melodies: bossa nova harmony at the core, but with a pop songwriter's ear for hooks and, later, a strong pull toward soul and funk. He comes from Rio de Janeiro and emerged in the mid-1960s as part of bossa nova's second generation, often writing with his brother Paulo Sérgio Valle as lyricist. Their "Samba de Verão" became an international hit as "Summer Samba" and was recorded by many singers and bandleaders. Valle also recorded in the United States, where albums such as Braziliance! and Samba '68 presented him to a wider audience. In the 1970s he moved into a looser, groove-heavy sound with electric keyboards, jazz-funk rhythms and Brazilian soul, and those records were rediscovered decades later by DJs and crate diggers, giving him a new international following. Listeners recognise him by his light, easy voice, bright major-seventh harmonies, and the way a relaxed bossa feel can tip into a warm, danceable groove.
