Trio Nordestino - Pau De Arara É A Vovozinha from Os Grandes Sucessos Do - Magazine (orig 1964)

I have been a bit slow to post lately. Apologies! Lots of new content is on the way. Pau De Arara É A Vovozinha is a great one from Trio Nordestino from their 1964 LP of the same title. The original LP featured the group on the tarmac looking like they are ready to conquer the world. Like the other early to mid-60s Trio Nordestino LPs, the albums were reissued a number of times over the years. This is fortunate for Trio Nordestino and fans of great forró.

Trio Nordestino - Carta Ao Rio from Os Grandes Sucessos Do - Magazine (orig 1965)

This Trio Nordestino, not to be confused with the Trio Nordestino from Alagoas, released a number of strong LPs in the early 1960s that have I foolishly overlooked. Os Grandes Sucessos collects songs from their 1963, 1965 and 1966 LPs. My favorite track from this compilation is Carta Ao Rio. The song is a rip-roaring côco with a killer chorus, reminiscent of some of the best 1960s Ary Lobo tracks.
