OK, my blog is called forró LP blah blah blah and this is a samba. True... but, Dorival Caymmi's early work shares a lot in common with many forró artists, including Jackson Do Pandeiro, who incorporated instruments like the violão de sete cordas into his work. The 7 string guitar / bass was used more often in samba. I love Dorival Caymmi's earliest work and his upbeat 78rpm singles. His later work is a bit maddening, because he tended to favor slow cançãoes with his heavy baritone singing.
