Sebastião do Rojão – Alo Alo Garanhuns from O ídolo do nordeste vol.2 - AMC 1974
Sebastião is part of a rare breed of soft voiced male forró singers. His vocals remind me of Neil Innes of the Rutles and Jacinto Silva. Like Osvaldo Oliveira, Sebastião recorded ballads and middle of the road material, along with songs in the northeastern style. Alo Alo Garanhuns (Durval Vieira – Sebastião do Rojão) is a lovely tribute to Sebastião's home town.
