Zenilton is back in his second entry on forróLPgringo. I first heard Primeiro De Abril (Antonio Brasileiro – Roderiki) on a budget CD compilation. Like the nearly lifeless layer of rock called the Permian–Triassic boundary, most great forró recordings went extinct around 1980. The 80s gave rise to cheap, tacky, grooveless drum machines and synth drum kits. Mostly. Primeiro De Abril, from 1981, is proof positive that great forró lived on past the pre-1980 golden age, but like the nearly lifeless layer of rock from the Permian–Triassic boundary, it was a lot more difficult to find.
Zenilton... weighing his options....
