There are lots of winners from the second major wave of forró recordings in the mid-1950s: Ary Lobo, Jackson Do Pandeiro, Walter Damasceno, Gilvan Chaves, Guerra Peixe, Volta Sêca, Jair Alves, Zito Borborema, Marinés and Luiz Vieira. All of these folks began on 78rpm and transitioned to vinyl. Carlos Galindo was not so lucky. He had a considerable number of releases on 78rpm, but nothing on vinyl. Sadly, this means that Galindo's catalog is in serious danger of not being preserved. It is possible that he is the great lost artist of baião. His records are every bit as good, if not better, than many of the artists listed above. The proof is in the pudding! Casa Amarela is a beautifully produced classic.
