Trio Banzú's Meu Boné is a classic bit of shellac samba from the Rozenblit label, República. Although the Rozenblit label is common, I have not seen República used with vinyl. This label may have been specific to the 78rpm era. For those less familiar with the different styles, which are always rooted in rhythm in Brazilian music, samba is perhaps the broadest. Most popular Brazilian music has primarily come from branches of samba, including Bossa Nova and MPB. Outside of the rhythm, samba instrumentation can be very similar to forró recordings. With a slight change in rhythm, Meu Boné could easily be a forró single.
