Valle, Marcos - Marcos Valle Souvenirs

Valle, Marcos - Marcos Valle SouvenirsIt is with great joy that we present the Mr Bongo edition of Marcos Valle's 1983 self titled masterpiece. A pure vintage that features the ultimate Brazilian boogie cult classic 'Estrelar' and iconic 80s cover art that sees a gloriously sun drenched Marcos dressed in a pink v neck t shirt surrounded by a generous selection of deadly looking neon cocktails. The album was produced by the legendary Lincoln Olivetti and Marcos' brother Paulo Srgio Valle.
