Guerra Peixe (1914 - 1993) was a classically trained expert on Brazilian rhythms and even wrote a book on Maracatu. He was not a forró artist, but certainly embraced and respected the northeast. He was responsible for the arrangements on one of my favorite Brazilian albums, Os Afro Sambas by Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powell.
The arrangement of Nação Nagô, featured this week on Forró LP Gringo, would not sound out of place on the Tropicalia LP. The arrangement has some of the feel of Rogério Duprat's production. I was uncertain if this was a newer album recorded in the 1970s or a reissue. The catalog numbers next to the songs seem to indicate the latter.
