Ary Lobo - Garóta Do Amendoim & Novidade De Hoje from compacto simples - RCA (1960)

This is a great 1960 compacto from Ary Lobo with a rare picture sleeve. The songs appeared on the equally rare LP, Aqui Mora O Ritmo which is more desirable than some of his other LPs because it was never reissued in any form and finding clean copies is nearly impossible.

Review: Jackson do Pandeiro - Falso Toureiro from Ao Vivo - Discobertas (1980 2011)

Review: Jackson do Pandeiro - Falso Toureiro from Ao Vivo - Discobertas (1980 2011)


This is a nice surprise! Discobertas uncovered a live recording of Jackson do Pandeiro with Borborema from 1980. The first six tracks were mastered from cassette. It's likely that this was recorded through the soundboard or with a semi-professional setup. Although it doesn't have the bottom end of a super pro recording, it's a fantastic performance and definitely better than most live TV clips floating around on YouTube.Tracks 7-11 are studio tracks that came from two hard-to-find compilation LPs: 100 Anos de MPB (Banco do Brasil, 1976) and a Carnaval LP: Rio, Carnaval e Turismo (Esquema, 1976).

For Jackson do Pandeiro fans, this is well worth purchasing! Even better, for buyers in the US and Europe, less expensive copies have been cropping up on Amazon and eBay lately. Buy it and support Discobertas!

Osvaldo Oliveira - Estou Querendo from Festejo Junino - CBS (1968)

Osvaldo Oliveira - Estou Querendo from Festejo Junino - CBS (1968)

Although Osvaldo Oliveira later became more of a crooner, the first 8 to 10 years are his most captivating and collectible, mainly because he was recording forró. Festejo Junino is Oliveira's first compacto for CBS and 1 of 2 known from this early part of his career. It features all of the elements that made him famous: clever phrasing, hypnotic melodies and fantastic production.

Zé Gonzaga - O Cheiro Da Carolina from Sua Sanfona Sua Simpatia - Copacabana (mid 1950s - early 1960s)

Zé Gonzaga - O Cheiro Da Carolina from Sua Sanfona Sua Simpatia - Copacabana (late 1950s - early 1960s)

This is a rare compacto / EP from Zé Gonzaga, featuring a Xoté tune originally released only on 78rpm. It seems that a lot of artists had 33 1/3" compactos released in the late 1950s and early 1960s in Brazil with tunes from 78s. It's likely that radio stations were reformatting and record companies wanted to make sure that they had their bases covered. Ivon Curi, Zé Gonzaga, Ary Lobo, Genival Lacerda and Luiz Wanderley all have similar compacto / 78rpm releases.

O Cheiro Da Carolina was also released by Luiz Gonzaga. The song is reminiscent of Peba Na Pimenta written by João Do Vale and released by Marinês around the same time period.
