Zito Borborema - Cabra Valentão (rojão) from O Nordeste Canta - RGE (1957)

Cabra Valentão is a beautifully produced track by Zito Borborema. O Nordeste Canta is one of the great albums of the short lived 10" album period from the mid to late 1950s. Zito Borborema, Ary Lobo, Jackson do Pandeiro, Jair Alves, Luiz Gonzaga, Zé Gonzaga, Volta Seca, Marinês, Gilvan Chaves and João Mello all have classic 10" (10 Polegadas in Portuguese) albums from this period. Usually, 10" albums were collections of 78 rpm singles. O Nordeste Canta contains exceedingly rare 78s, so it is fortunate that vinyl came along when it did to document these amazing songs. 

Thank you Samuel for the historical information!
