Jorge Veiga - Raizes Do Samba

I am gradually making my way through Os Grandes Sambas compilation, and find that, even without knowing who is playing, I tend to pick out the same people.

Example 1: Jacob do Bandolim was one of the great players I noticed from the choro compilations. Then, on Os Grandes Sambas I heard a song (Barracao) with a mandolin solo of breathtaking beauty, and sure enough, it was Jacob do Bandolim playing. I won't post any of his stuff, but instead forward you to the excellent Loronix blog that has many of his albums; I specifically recommend his recordings with Eliseth Cardoso and his solo records (one, two).

Example 2: I really liked the songs Acertei no milhar, Que Bate-Fundo e´ Esse, and Cafe Socaite, and then realized they are all sung by the same person - Jorge Veiga. I don't know who he is, I just know that his music pushes my buttons.
This album is from a retrospective series on samba titled Raizes do Samba (Roots of samba). There are comps wth the same title, but from different artists, kinda like "The So-and-so's finest hour" series on Verve.
