Genival Lacerda - Cajueiro Abalou from Viva São João No. 5 - Mocambo LP (late 1960s) and 78rpm (1963)

It's been a while since I have posted a track from the reigning king of forró, Genival Lacerda. Cajueiro Abalou was originally released on a now extremely rare 78 rpm single in 1963. Luckily, Mocambo released a series of LPs in the late 1960s called Viva São João drawing heavily from their back catalog. Without these compilations and a rare Genival Lacerda LP on Rozenblit Passarela collecting most of his early work called Tomaram Meu Amor, which is almost as rare as his 78s, most of Genival's earliest work would be lost to the world. There are still a few songs on odd 78 rpms that have not surfaced or been reissued in any form.
