Marcos Valle’s first album, Samba Demais, introduced one of Brazil’s most refreshing talents of the 1960s and ’70s, a subtle interpretive singer and an excellent songwriter (with brother Paulo Sérgio). Still, label and performer hedged their bets by having Valle mix his originals with a few perennials, including Jobim’s “Vivo Sonhando” and “Ela é Carioca,” plus the ballad “Moça Flor” and the Roberto Menescal set-closer “A Morte de um Deus de Sal.” Boasting some easy, breezy help from Tamba Trio and a spring-like atmosphere throughout, Valle makes his debut an umitigated triumph, pausing over and treasuring his words on the Jobim songs and the originals “Amor de Nada” and “Sonho de Maria.”
