Marinês E Sua Gente - Peba Na Pimenta from Vamos Xaxar & Rico Ri À Toa - Sinter (1957)


Vamos Xaxar, like many 10" records from this period, is a compilation of 78rpm singles. This is the first appearance on vinyl from the mighty Marinês E Sua Gente. Peba Na Pimenta was co-written by the great João do Vale. Vale's version appeared on his beloved 1965 Philips album, Poeta Do Povo. I am uncertain if there is an earlier recording by Vale. This video includes both the xoté style recording from the Sinter 10" and the group appearance from the film Rico Ri Á Toa, which is faster, tighter, has higher fidelity and in my opinion, is infinitely better. Marinês is riveting throughout.
