Marcos Kostenbader Valle, born on September 14, 1943, in Rio de Janeiro, is a celebrated Brazilian singer, songwriter, and record producer, renowned for his contributions to the Brazilian music scene, particularly in the bossa nova and samba genres. With a career spanning over six decades, Valle has become an emblematic figure in Brazilian popular music, pairing his infectious melodies with a knack for weaving elements of jazz, funk, and Latin rhythms into his work.

Valle's creativity has led to a prolific output, including more than 30 albums that reflect the evolution of Brazilian sounds from the 1960s to the present.
