Saudade do Ceará by Trio Irapuã is exceptional for a number of reasons. One, it is a baião group vocal pop song. Although there were groups who worked in this style, like Quatro Ases E Um Coringa and sometimes Trio Irakitan, this was atypical. Most vocal groups recorded sambas. Two, this was released on compacto. Vocal groups were a dying breed, and with few exceptions, most did not survive into the vinyl era. I know virtually nothing about Trio Irapuã, but this seems to be the sole release from this group. There seems to be one later release on Mocambo from a much older version of the group.
