Jota Fonseca's legacy is mixed. He was lucky that his early 60s productions were fabulous tunes that sounded stellar. Jota was unlucky that most of his work was only released on 78rpm, meaning that his presence on vinyl, a much more long-lived format, is minimal. That said, he ended up on at least one compacto and LP compilation. Also, a fair number of Jota Fonseca's 78s survived, meaning that he is better off than Carlos Galindo, who has all but vanished. Meu Norte Venceu, written by Sebastião Do Rojão, is a rolicking rojão from a great double-sided 78rpm single.
