Jacinto Silva - Na Base Do Tamanco (côco) - Mocambo (1964) - Passarela (1973)

Na Base Do Tamanco (côco) sounds like what Jacinto Silva is best known for. This song came out on a Mocambo 78rpm in 1964, which is absolutely amazing. I would not be surprised if this is one of the last 78s to ever be released in any region. It is also interesting that this is the amazing, futuristic, forward-sounding forró that Jacinto Silva would become famous for. If this is the last 78rpm ever, the format went out with a bang. By 1965, Silva was began recording his incredible solo trilogy of LPs for CBS. 

The original 78rpm records are agonizingly rare. Fortunately, this tune was reissued on a compilation on the Rozenblit Passarela label in 1973 along with other scarce sides from the early 60s by other northeasterners.
