Like Jackson do Pandeiro, Ary Lobo seemed to be masterful at every Brazilian genre. Lobo had primarily been a forró recording artist before the mid-1960s, but he stretched a bit after that. Velho Barqueiro is listed as a toada canção, which is essentially a traditional Brazilian ballad. The production and Lobo's delivery turns it into something else entirely. It sounds like a sophisticated, mournful cowboy ballad sung on the dusty sertão. The master of this type of ballad may be Aldair Soares, who I will feature next on this blog.
