Nóis No Rio - Sertanejo (1960)

Nóis No Rio - Sertanejo - featuring Osvaldo Oliveira & Geraldo Nunes - (1960)

Nóis No Rio is one of the scarcest and most sought after forró LPs, mainly because it features the first recordings of Osvaldo Oliveira. Oliveira became part of the 3rd big wave of new forró stars, along with eventual CBS label-mates Jacinto Silva and Elino Julião. Oliveira was an excellent interpreter and songwriter. He became a balladeer in the 70s and lost a bit of his fire, but he was responsible for creating some of the best forró of the 1960s.

A contender for the best track on the LP may be Fazenda Véia by Geraldo Nunes, although it's tough to top Oliveira's Opinião de Pau de Arara
