Freio Aerodinâmico

Freio Aerodinâmico is track 7 of the 1970 album Marcos Valle on Odeon, between Esperando o Messias and Os Grilos, and runs 2:43 on MusicBrainz. It is an instrumental with wordless vocalizations, in the words of one reviewer, who finds it catchy and memorable and says Valle later described it as a Euro-disco hit. Milton Miranda produced the album and Lyrio Panicalli was musical director.

Credits are disputed. One review says Marcos and Paulo Sergio Valle wrote all the songs; SecondHandSongs and the album tracklist credit Marcos alone. The vocalist is Angela Valle in the credits and Ana Maria Valle in the review text. Os Tres Morais covered it in 1971, and Quintetto X and Anamaria and Mauricio are also listed; none of those pages could be fetched. A 7-inch pairing it with Democustico exists, but its label, year and A-side are unconfirmed and it is probably a later reissue.

The album and the upload

The upload on hypersongs is not the studio recording: it is Marcos Valle performing Freio Aerodinamico live in Cologne in 2015, posted by the Soulfingerstuff channel. The venue and date of the show were not found and no setlist.fm entry was located.

On the album Valle sings and plays piano, Angela Valle sings on this song and on Ele e Ela, and the band is Som Imaginario: Wagner Tiso on keyboards, Tavito on electric guitar, Luiz Alves on bass and Robertinho Silva on drums, with Novelli on bass and Nelson Angelo on acoustic guitar. Leonardo Bruno and Orlando Silveira arranged. The song is on compilations including Tudo, Free Soul Flight to Brazil and The Essential Marcos Valle.
