On the Brazilian music scene from the early 60's, it was very common at that time a gig format called "shows de bolso", pocket shows. These pocket shows were held on small places such like the nightclubs of that time from Beco das Garrafas in Copacabana.In 1967, the producer Aloysio de Oliveira decided to make a pocket show with Dorival Caymmi and four little girls that arrived from Bahia to pursue an international career. However, on a last minute addition, Vinicius de Moraes was invited to take part on that pocket show.
The four little girls are the now famous Quarteto em Cy and this Album, Vinicius/Caymmi No Zum Zum 1967 was the most sucessful album - in terms of sales - from the legendary Brazilian Record Label Elenco.
Due the poor resources available by that time - were a live record was severe spoiled by ambient sounds - Aloysio de Oliveira decided to make a studio album with the set-list, an historic piece.
