Dorival Caymmi - Caymmi

“

Dorival Caymmi (April 30, 1914 – August 16, 2008) was considered to be one of the most important songwriters in Brazilian popular music. Ben Ratliff wrote that Caymmi was perhaps second only to Antonio Carlos Jobim "in establishing a songbook of this century’s Brazilian identity." The son of an Italian immigrant and a black Bahian woman, he had a distinctive style of his own and was the writer of many classic songs. The sambas, such as O Samba Da Minha Terra, Doralice , Saudade da Bahia have become standards of Música Popular Brasileira. He also wrote ballads celebrating the fearless fishermen of Bahia, including Promessa de Pescador and O Vento. Although his songs celebrate the people of Bahia and he himself is enshrined in the popular Brazilian imagination as the archetypal Bahian, he moved to Rio de Janeiro to find fame in the 1930s and never moved back to Bahia. He became a contemporary and sometimes rival of composer Ary Barroso and enjoyed a lifelong friendship with Bahian author Jorge Amado. Dorival Caymmi first achieved success in the late 1930s with Carmen Miranda, for whom he composed O Que é Que a Baiana Tem? He recorded for five decades, both singing solo with his own guitar accompaniment, and backed by bands and orchestras. In the 1960s many of his songs were covered by bossa nova pioneer João Gilberto, and he collaborated with Antonio Carlos Jobim. Among the many musicians heavily influenced by Dorival Caymmi are Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. And Roses and Roses, an English-language version of Das Rosas with words by Ray Gilbert, has been recorded by Andy Williams, Perry Como, Astrud Gilberto, and others. His sons Dori Caymmi and Danilo Caymmi, and his daughter Nana Caymmi are also prominent musicians, who debuted professionally by accompanying their father on stage and on record. Caymmi died aged 94 of multiple organ failure on August 16, 2008. Wikipédia
