“Pelo telefone” was the first recorded samba, in 1917. I would like that recording. I love that it is about talking on the phone. And here is Martinho’s version.
Axé.

The first recording of a samba was made in 1902, but was not officially recorded as a samba. http://books.google.com/books?id=VUvjGC2DBAMC&pg=PA81&lpg=PA81&dq=isto+e+bom+samba&source=bl&ots=3Mhzwes3VG&sig=-KlltmOSVKG8pi7sD5vmR2SI-Rc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=p7VVT9TYDKrHsQKzkojhCQ&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=isto%20e%20bom%20samba&f=false
I have a 78 rpm Columbia recording of “Pelo Telephone”, flip side is “Passarinho Baleu Asa”, described as “zamba with Vocal ensemble, Donga”, recorded under the personal supervision of Leopold Stokowski.
