This week, we feature a rare scorcher from Zé Do Rojão on the obscure Arariboia label. I have been a huge fan after being blown away by his 1975 LP on Premier. Unfortunately, his catalog is sparse and Zé Do Rojão's early compactos are highly desirable.

It took a while for multiple stars to appear in the wake of Luiz Gonzaga's success from the 1940s. Jorge Veiga, a great voice from 1950s baião, is one of the earliest. Veiga's career extended into the 1970s and included a wealth of great records. Cabra Macho from the self titled 10" was composed by Gordurinha, another great star of forró.
