Terezinha - Só Danço Com (côco) from Seleção Nordestina - Dex (1975)

Another rarity today from the DEX. Seleção Nordestina was a various artist compilation, called a coletânea. Terezinha's tune is a standout. There are several artists named Terezinha that were recording in this era and I am not sure if this is one that had a recording career beyond this comp. 

I also heard from a collector friend that DEX was a label for hire, meaning the label would put out records for artists that fronted the money. I cannot verify this at the moment, but would love to know a bit more about the history of this somewhat mysterious label.

Os Pernambuquinhos - Dois Amores (baião) - Uirapurú compacto (1960s)

This compacto from Os Pernambuquinhos is very obscure. Unfortunately, I have very little information about this act. This compacto was most likely released in the 1960s. As far as I am aware, this is the only release from this group. I would welcome more information.

Trio Nordestino - Chinelo De Rosinha from Os Rouxinhos Da Bahia - Copacabana (1978)

There are two different Trio Nordestinos. This version is from Salvador. After the Trio left CBS in the mid 1970s, they recorded primarily for Copacabana throughout the late 70s and early 80s. Unlike aging rock bands, Trio Nordestino seemed to become more rocking, albeit playing forró, over the years. Chinelo De Rosinha is a great example of the band that they became.
