Marinês E Sua Gente - Peba Na Pimenta from Vamos Xaxar & Rico Ri À Toa - Sinter (1957)

Vamos Xaxar, like many 10" records from this period, is a compilation of 78rpm singles. This is the first appearance on vinyl from the mighty Marinês E Sua Gente. Peba Na Pimenta was co-written by the great João do Vale. Vale's version appeared on his beloved 1965 Philips album, Poeta Do Povo. I am uncertain if there is an earlier recording by Vale. This video includes both the xoté style recording from the Sinter 10" and the group appearance from the film Rico Ri Á Toa, which is faster, tighter, has higher fidelity and in my opinion, is infinitely better. Marinês is riveting throughout.

Zenilton - Leão Coroado & Casa Amarela from O Forró Do - Chantecler (1968)

Zenilton is pure roots forró. At his best, he was a master of the haunting style of baião established by Luiz Gonzaga. He often appeared in the famous Lampião costume favored by Gonzaga. Leão Coroado & Casa Amarela originate from the 1968 LP, O Forró Do, the 3rd album released by Zenilton.

Carlos Galindo - Que Vontade De Comer Goiaba (baião) from Todamerica 78rpm (1955)

Que Vontade De Comer Goiaba (baião) is another unjustly rare tune from Carlos Galindo. If there is any justice in the world, collectors will assemble a compilation of Galindo's 78rpms. As far as I am aware, these have never been reissued.
