In the coming months, I am going to post music from my rarest forró albums.
Trio Luar Do Sertão were active for a few years in the late 1960s and toured with Genival Lacerda. It seems that Lacerda liked the group and assisted with the production of their sole album, Os Brasas Do Xaxado. Some of the songs from the album were partially composed by Lacerda, including Xaxado No Sertão. Although Trio Luar Do Sertão were only active for a few years, they eventually become Os 3 Do Nordeste creating a string of classic albums for CBS under Abdias in the 1970s.
There are a few reasons why Os Brasas Do Xaxado is exceedingly rare. One: Most forró albums from the 60s were pressed in small numbers and there are few copies on the market for most artists. Two: Bemol was a tiny short-lived label and this record was never reissued. Three: Os 3 Do Nordeste are beloved and collectible, so this album is sought by fans of that group along with collectors of deep forró. Four: The album sounds as good as anything coming from major labels in this era.
