Description

This is another bonus episode of Brazuca Sounds! Every episode is a different song.

This is the song today: "Eu só Quero um Xodó" by Gilberto Gil from Cidade do Salvador (1973)

The accordionist Dominguinhos once created a melody in his tiny apartment. Anástasia was cooking, left everything behind, and wrote the lyrics for the song. They intended to sell it off to a forró record label, but during a tour in France supporting Gal Costa, Dominguinhos played the tune in a soundcheck, Gilberto Gil heard it and the rest is history. "Eu Só quero Um Xodó" was released by Gil as a single, featuring Dominguinhos, and over the years became one of the most popular forró songs ever.
