Zito Borborema - O Bom Vaqueiro & Baião da Corda from Forrozão - Tropicana (1973)

Zito Borborema - O Bom Vaqueiro & Baião da Corda from Forrozão - Tropicana (1973)

This week gives you 2 classic tracks from Zito Borborema who makes his first appearance on Forró LP Gringo, from a scarce 1973 vinyl album on the Tropicana label. If I had to pick my favorite era of forró, it would definitely be the early 1970s. There was an explosion of great records from this time. I was barely aware of Zito Borborema until being taken to forró school by my friend Samuel. Borborema began recording in the mid-1950s. Like Zé Gonzaga, many of his records are similar in style to Luiz Gonzaga, but he also recorded a fair amount of côcos. Zito Borborema's catalog is full of treasures worth exploring.
