Marcos Valle is one of the few artists you cannot miss if you have the slightest interest in Brazilian music. Whether your taste is focused on bossa jazz, samba, psych folk or soul, Valle has surely recorded a great album for you. Garra was originally released in 1971 and brought listeners Valle's classics such as "Com Mais De 30," "O Cafona," "Vinte E Seis Anos De Vida Normal," and the rare groove classic "Wanda Vidal." Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl, this release is part of Vampisoul's new reissue series that comprises many other outstanding Brazilian classics by the likes of Evinha, Cassiano, Gerson King Combo, Hyldon, and more. By the dawn of the 1970s, the multi-talented Valle was entering a new era, ready to test the government censors (Brazil was under strict military rule since a coup d'état in 1964) and express a socially aware stance and a playful hodge-podge of musical styles including samba, bossa nova, baião (a rhythmic beat from the rural northeast of Brazil), black American music, and rock. Garra maintains the same socially conscious content as in his previous album while also combining diverse musical styles and influences.
