Marcos Valle is the Renaissance man of Brazilian pop, a singer/songwriter/producer who has straddled the music world from the early days of the bossa nova craze well into the fusion-soaked sound of ’80s MPB and into the 21st century. His second album, 1965’s O Compositor e o Cantor, is widely considered among the era’s most important. Its hit single, “Samba de Verão,” is one of the most covered songs in Brazilian music history.
