Zé Fernandes - Sou Que Nem Mineiro & Forró Do Zé Vicente from Dança Na Roça é Bom - Sinter (1957)

This is the second classic Zé Fernandes vinyl appearance on my blog. His later LP, Forró do Mané Vito was featured here. His only two full length releases were this 10" (below) and an LP. Fernandes also released a handful of rare 78rpm singles. Although 10" records from the 1950s were typically collections of these singles, songs often slipped between the cracks and were not compiled. Some 10" records also contained exclusive material. This is true for virtually all artists with releases during this transitional period. Sou Que Nem Mineiro & Forró Do Zé Vicente are excellent, high energy numbers. Forró Do Zé Vicente was previously released as a 78rpm, but Sou Que Nem Mineiro may be exclusive to the 10". I have not found evidence that the latter was a 78rpm. The Zé Fernandes sound foreshadowed the future of forró instead of exclusively falling back on the early sound of Luiz Gonzaga.
