Grupo "X" - Lembrando A Bahia (samba) - Columbia 78rpm (1937) from Samba Da Minha Terra - Revivendo (1992)

Revivendo has been reissuing early Brazilian music since the 1980s. Much of the music from the was only released on 78rpm singles. Some of the songs from this CD compilation, Samba Da Minha Terra, have appeared on scattered LP and CD reissues, but a fair portion appears here for the first and only time.

Grupo "X" never appeared on vinyl or CD compilations, possibly because they were only together for a short time.  However, their output was prolific. According to Dicioáario MPB, Grupo "X" released a 26 78rpm singles in three years, 1936, 1937 and 1938, before splitting up. The liner notes indicate that there was a second phase of Grupo "X," but discographies do not list additional recordings. The group seemed to be primarily higher education students studying to be accountants, dentists and veterinarians in São Paulo. Despite music for most members seemingly being secondary to other careers, Grupo "X" held their own against the big groups: Quatro Ases e Um Coringa, Bando Da Lua (who became Carmen Miranda's backing group) and Anjos Do Inferno, also appearing on the CD compilation Samba Da Minha Terra from 1992.

Lembrando A Bahia is a rolicking samba from 1937. Bravo to Revivendo for assembling this amazing music that would otherwise be lost to the world.
