Pai Orixá was originally released as a 78rpm single on Copacabana in 1957. Os Donos Do Ritmo is a 10" (10 polegadas) LP featuring Pai Orixá and seven other 78rpm sides. It is one of three Jackson Do Pandeiro 10" LPs released in the 1950s, along with his self-titled debut (1955) and Forró Do Jackson (1956). Os Donos Do Ritmo is the scarcest of the three releases, although Jackson Do Pandeiro was still extremely popular at the time. It is possible that Copacabana pressed fewer copies because Jackson moved to Columbia records in the late 1950s and the label was giving him less of a push. Pai Orixá is listed as batuque, or batucada, which is the specific type of rhythm used in the song. Labeling songs by rhythmic style was very common in Brazilian music through the 1960s.
