| This Brazilian compilation nicely complements the two 'Essential Marcos Valle' volumes; even though 4 or 5 tracks are duplicated, this makes some otherwise very rare tracks available on CD, such as the great 'Black is Beautiful', 'O Cafona' and 'Que Bandeira' from 'Garra' and 'Os Ossos do Barao' from 'Previsao do tempo'. Also included are two enjoyable and heartfelt duets with Milton Nascimento someone who I've never otherwise been able to get into. Here they sing 'Viola Enluarada', which was a big hit in 1967 (well, in Brazil, anyway), and 'Dialogo'. Another jewel here is the title track from the rare 'Mustang cor de sangue' album, which was also recorded by Wilson Simonal |
