- Brazil: Forró – Music for Maids and Taxi Drivers is a various artists genre compilation album that was dedicated to Forró, a music style from Brazil. Released in 1989, the album was nominated for the Best Traditional Folk Album in the 33rd Annual Grammy Awards two years later. According to US producer Gerald Seligman, the original tracks were produced by Zé da Flauta, who came to prominence in the group Quinteto Violado, founded in Recife in 1970 and most active throughout that decade. Zé sold the forró master tapes and all rights to Rio de Janeiro-based Carlão de Andrade of Visom Records, who pressed them intending for the sales to help fund the start-up of his label of instrumental music. There they languished until Seligman spied them in a Visom closet in 1987. He took them back to NY, recognized their value as a rare example of roots forró music and approached both GlobeStyle Records in the UK and Rounder in the US to gauge interest in a compilation. Both signed on. Seligman also commissioned acclaimed woodblock artist Marcelo Soares to create the cover in the style of Literatura de Cordel, which are popular rhyming broadsides distributed throughout the Brazilian Northeast.

Este álbum ganhou notoriedade por ter sido indicado a um Grammy Awards na categoria Best Traditional Folk Album. “Por causa de um disco de forró, estávamos na festa de premiação dando de cara com nomes como Natalie Cole, Keith Richards, Aerosmith, Billy Idol, Quincy Jones...”, relembra Zé da Flauta. Além do feito da indicação ao prêmio Grammy, o álbum recebeu um prêmio na Inglaterra como melhor capa de CD internacional, em 1990, pela xilogravura de Marcelo Soares. (pt)
