Luiz Wanderley - Matuto Transviado (côco-baião) from Baiano Burro Nasce Morto compacto - Chantecler (1959)

Luiz Wanderley is one of the few all-around entertainers in forró, with interesting and collectible records in the samba and forró styles. Matuto Transviado, featured here from the Baiãno Burro Nasce Morto compacto, was also available on the LP version.

Guaraci Do Pandeiro - O Vendedor De Caranguejos (côco) from Nordeste Em LP - Estúdio 7 (1960s)

Guaraci (aka Guaracy) released a single on RCA, an LP on Trinufo and appeared on a compilation on Estúdio . These were all confined to the 1960s. These records are particularly scarce. This is true for virtually all 60s forró. Em Nordeste is a compilation featuring several forró heavyweights. Interestingly, compilations in Brazil almost always feature exclusive recordings, making them nearly, and sometimes more, valuable than artist studio LPs and compactos.

Jacinto Silva - Meu Xodó from Agora Tu Pega E Vira - CBS (1971)

If I could make a single LP compilation featuring my favorite forró songs, Meu Xodó would absolutely be included. It is one of the triumphs of Jacinto Silva's recorded work and a brilliant production from the best forró label of the early 1970s, CBS.
