An essential album for lovers of Brazilian boogie

During the 1970s, Marcos Valle moved to the US, tired of living under the repressive military dictatorship in Brazil. He collaborated with musicians like Leon Ware and Chicago in Los Angeles.

Upon returning to Brazil in the 1980s, he recorded “Vontade de Viver," where he explored all the musical influences he had received in the US, particularly Boogie, Soul, and Funk. For this recording, he had the collaboration of musicians such as Sivuca, Peter Cetera from Chicago, Robson Jorge, and José Roberto Bertrami from Azymuth.
