Carlos Diniz - Côco Do Tibiribe (1963) from Nordeste Cabra Da Peste - Mocambo (1968)

Carlos Diniz's short career seems to be confined to the 1960s. The Dicionário Cravo Albin Da Musica Popular Brazileira lists his first release as a 78rpm on Chantecler in 1960 followed by 5 more on Mocambo over the next four years. Many of these appeared on the Mocambo coletânea LP series called Viva São João, but the 1963 release Côco Do Tibiribe, is on a one-off Mocambo LP called Nordeste Cabra Da Peste. Côco Do Tibiribe is a joyful slice of northeastern côco that seems strikingly similar to Jacinto Silva's 1965 CBS classic Puxa o Fole Zé from Ritmo Explosivo.

Abdias - Fiz Pra Você from Segura O Pé De Bode - CBS (1967)

Thanks to his status as forró boss and A&R man at CBS, Abdias' Segura O Pé De Bode LP is one of at least 17 LPs Abdias recorded for CBS between 1965 and 1977. This does not include releases for labels before and after this period. His catalog is formidable. Although excellent, many of his albums a purely instrumental. Fiz Pra Você is a lively number featuring bandolim. I believe this group backed many of the forró recording stars that came to CBS studios, although Jackson do Pandeiro chose to keep his own musicians after one session.

Zacarias - É Crime Não Saber Ler from Sucessos Dos Maiores Cantores Nordestinos - Premier (1973) (originally 78rpm 1961)

It was a challenge to find information related to the original release of É Crime Não Saber Ler by Zacarias, although there is a mention of the tune on Dicionário Carvo Albin Da Musica Popular Brasileira stating that it was released in 1961 and penned by Zacarias himself. However, this discografia mixes two completely different Zacarias artists. The forró Zacarias is not the same person as Zaccarias the guitarist.

Sucessos Dos Maiores Cantores Nordestinos is a compilation of out of print 78 rpm singles from a variety of late 50s and early 60s northeastern heavy hitters. This LP compilation came out in 1973. Like Carlos Galindo, Zacarias was another artist with no retrospective LP or CD collection of his original work from his 78 rpm period. He only appears on two compilation LPs.
