Perez Gonzaga - Toquem Meu Forró from Every Bode, Every Cabra - Caminhada (early 1980s)
Although forró albums recorded after 1975 tend to be less rare than earlier LPs, age does not necessarily coincide with scarcity. Take Every Bode, Every Cabra by Perez Gonzaga. The album came out at some point in the 1980s but was released on a tiny label called Caminhada. For some reason, this record does not turn up often for sale, even in Brazil. What makes the album magical and appealing is the featured use of guitar over traditional forró instrumentation. Although the traditional rhythm section is there, Gonzaga's guitar is in the fore. One little change in instrumentation can make an artist stand out. The production is also gorgeous.
