Zé Do Baião - Fulô Do Verão (côco) from Continental 78rpm (1959)

Fulô Do Verão (côco) is the b-side to Zé Do Baião's 1959 A Laranjeira single. Zé Do Baião recorded a handful of great singles in the 1950s and early 1960s before transitioning into the Brazilian vinyl age. I do not believe that any of these songs made it onto the scant reissues of 78rpm singles that came later, so finding and preserving original copies is essential.

Barbosa Da Silva - Vai Lavar O Sirí (côco) from compacto - Albatroz (1962)

This week, I am pleased to feature the absurdly rare Barbosa Da Silva forró compacto from 1962. Both tunes on the compacto are strong, but Vai Lavar O Sirí is the standout for me. Outside of some writing credits for Jackson Do Pandeiro, I have very little information about Barbosa Da Silva and little evidence of his recording career beyond this single.
