Nana Caymmi

The little girl of singers Dorival Caymmi and Stella Maris (Adelaide Tostes Caymmi), Nana Caymmi is even so a recognised singer on her behalf own, as corroborated by her extensive discography and two gold records. Also a composer, she’s been documented by giants such as for example Milton Nascimento. Nana debuted on record in Dorival Caymmi’s record Acalanto (Odeon, 1961). Marrying a Venezuelan doctor, she transferred there in 1959. Her like for boleros result from this era. Seven years later on, with two kids, pregnant, and divorced from her spouse, she returned to Rio in June 1966. There, she became associated with the Tropicalia people (her sibling Dori, currently a maker for Philips, is at close connection with all people of the motion, but neither of both became a member of it). In this era, she fulfilled Gilberto Gil for the every week Television Excelsior display Ensaio Geral, documented in São Paulo, which Maria Bethânia, Marília Medalha, Tuca, Francis Hime, Toquinho, Sérgio Ricardo, Ciro Monteiro, as well as the Tamba Trio also frequently participated. Caymmi began an affair with Gil, and finally they truly became informally wedded, with general scandal, as she was white and he, dark. In the I FIC (International Music Event), in Rio in 1966, with a new baby son waiting around backstage, she shown “Saveiros” (Dori Caymmi/Nelson Motta), earning 1st place amidst booing, as some individuals desired the timid interpretation of the beginner Gal Costa of Gil’s music “Minha Senhora” (created with Torquato Neto). She’d only discover afterward, however the extremely Gil took component within the booing. In the III FMPB (Brazilian Popular Music Event; presented by Television Record in the Teatro Paramount, São Paulo) she sang with Gil “Bom-Dia” (compiled by both). An interval of ostracism adopted: she didn’t match the pop picture of Tropicalia, using its choice for iê-iê-iê; another motion which could catch the attention of her, because of its respect for Brazilian lifestyle, was the “canção de protesto” (protest music) through the armed forces dictatorship. The motion, gathering people as different because the sambista perform morro carioca (in the Carioca hillsides) Zé Keti, the Northeast Brazilian João perform Vale, the bourgeois Nara Leão, and many more, was proscribed by Caymmi, who believed the cançõha sido de protesto as boring, filled with tremendous lyrics and unpleasant melodies. Therefore, her shows had been always failing throughout that period. She survived by performing in Portuguese in nightclubs in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. Among her many single albums deserving point out are Nana Caymmi (1979), Voz e Suor (with César Camargo Mariano; 1983), Chora Brasileira (1985), Caymmi’s Grandes Amigos (1986), Talento de Nana Caymmi (1987), and Só Louco (documented live in the Montreux Festival in 1989 with Wagner Tiso), through EMI. In 1983, Caymmi made an appearance within the documentary Bahia de Todos os Sambas, documented in Rome. In 1994, she was contained in the Songbook Edu Lobo (Lumiar). Her recording Bolero sold a lot more than 100,000 copies and brought her her 1st yellow metal record. She was included on the posthumous tribute to vocalist Clara Nunes Clara com Vida (EMI, 1995), an archive which offered 96,000 copies in four weeks. For the reason that same yr, Caymmi was granted by APCA because the Greatest Female Vocalist of the entire year. In 1996, she released her Compact disc Alma Serena, and in 1997, No Coração perform Rio. In 1998, Caymmi was once again granted by APCA because the Greatest Female Vocalist of the entire year. In 1999, her recording Resposta ao Vento, after having been contained in the soundtrack of Television Globo cleaning soap opera Hilda Furacão, offered 100,000 copies, her second yellow metal record.
