'Papete' (Jose de Ribamar) was born in 1947, in the city of Bacabal, in the state of Maranhau, Brasil.
The music of Papete was originally released on the independent Discos Marcus Pereira label.
In the 1970's this label released a series of records that focused on the folkloric traditions of Brasil. Especially from the nordeste (northeast).
His 70's LP's had a profound influence on many Brasilian musicians and non musicians.

His 1974, 1978 and 1980 LP's were his best, with anything after that unfortunately becoming too pop-ish.
My favorite is his first 1974 LP: "Berimbau e Percussão".

These last three LP's are now rare and hard to find.
His first 1974 LP has been reissued on CD, but not with the original cover.

"Berimbau e Percussão"CD reissue date unkown
"Berimbau e Percussão"
3 vinyl LP set of reissued songs, 1994
Includes the original 8 songs from his '74 LP
with 8 additional songs from his 1989 LP.

Orq. Revé
Vinyl Egrem LP

Two early ones by Elio Revé' y Su 'Orquesta Revé 1968-'69.
This is the band that Juan Formell played bass in before he left to form Los Van Van.
Several cuts on both of these clearly have the distinct "Formell sound", later to become the early Van Van sound.

La Charanga De Cuba / recorded in France 1962-'63

1. Lazaro Y Su Microfono

4. Invitation Au Bembe 

Early 1960's 'La Charanga De Cuba' that recorded two 7" inch EP's on the French Barclay label.

Four songs on each record.

The record "Dance Party A La Havane" has a tasty version of "Lazaro Y Su Microfono"
which starts with a rubato piano intro followed by 8 bars of Danzón... then right into it.
The second record, "La Charanga De Cuba" all four songs are done in 6/8 time. (Bembé)

Both EP's obscure, rare and out of print.
