Zé Ramalho da Paraíba

Zé Ramalho da Paraíba is a compilation of rare songs by Brazilian solo artist Zé Ramalho in 2008. Most of the tracks were recorded live, in a time they were still unknown. Avôhai (a tribute to Ramalho's grandfather), for example, was performed only three days after his death (as said in the beginning of the song), but became a hit single years after.
