Recordando O Vale das Macas - Best of 1977-1982

Recordando O Vale das Macas is one of the main Progressive rock line-ups that came out of Brazil during the Seventies, next to MUTANTES, O TERCO and SOM NOSSO DE CADA DIA. With only one exceptional album recorded in 1977: "As Crianças Da Nova Floresta", guitar-player Fernando PACHECO's line-up greatly contributed to create the basis for a now typical South-American style. The players show some CAMEL and GENESIS (or even RENAISSANCE) influences, some delicate and refined atmospheres, charming vocals (In Portuguese, occasionally both feminine and masculine), a delicate and truly lyrical flute... Apart from the references taken from the masters of this style, these musicians display a great personality and a noticeable virtuosity. The use of the violin played by their leader can also reinforce the similarities with another famous name of the local stage: Marcus VIANA (SAGRADO). As a bonus, we'll just add that it includes an eponymous and more than 18-minute long suite ! "1977-1982"
