Genival Lacerda - Forró Do Cabra Zoró from Mungangueiro Prá Daná - Fontana (1970)

It always feels great to revisit the mighty Genival Lacerda, who sadly passed from COVID-19 complications at the ripe old age of 89 in January of this year (2021). Genival was one of the last survivors of the great second wave of forró singers beginning in the 1950s. Forró Do Cabra Zoró, written by Elias Soares and Genicé Moraes, features an amazing, swelling accordion riff. Lacerda's songs usually featured something special that elevated his music above the pack.
