Estourou Do Norte, recorded by Dora Lopes in 1971, is a killer. There were several compactos of this song released, including a standard double sider in a stock sleeve and the EP featured here with a nifty picture sleeve. The number of forró records seemed to explode in the 1970s, but the production and instrumentation was usually often fixed and traditional. This is fine, but the songwriting and recording had to be razor sharp or the records would sound average. The addition of the horn section to Estourou Do Norte immediately grabs the listener, along with the punchy mix and wonderful performance by Dora Lopes.
