Cruela Cruel - Marcos Valle
Halloween is coming up so the next few days will feature some Halloween themed songs. Today's track is not really Halloween themed but features a Disney villain whose birthday is probably October 31, Cruella De Vil.

Let's go down to Brazil, the home of bossa nova and listen to a version translated into Portuguese and given a smooth, cool sound. All of this is thanks to MARCOS VALLE who is not only a successful bossa nova artist but has also found success bring that style to the mainstream world.

Although Valle has been making music since the 60s, his real influence in the music world was in the 90s when he merged bossa nova with electronica and brought it to the club scene. He called drum 'n' bossa and it was a huge hit.

But this track brings Valle back to his roots and turns the song that was meant to be insulting into a song that I sure Cruella would fine very complementary.
