BONUS EP. (Marcos Valle - Mentira)

Salve! This is a bonus episode for Brazuca Sounds paid subscribers!

Every episode is a different song.

This is the song today:

"Mentira" by Marcos Valle (M. Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)

Influenced by Stevie Wonder, and blending Brazilian popular music and American black music, Valle released "Mentira" in his groundbreaking 1973 album "Previsão do Tempo".  It is a song with many grooves, Fender Rhodes, wah wah guitars, hypnotic drums, and bass leading the way, and it is also considered one of the first to feature a beatbox in Brazil. Not a big commercial hit in the 1970s, "Mentira" got a new life rediscovered by DJs and prominently sampled in Planet Hemp's "Contexto".
