Nana Caymmi - Nana Caymmi (1975)

I bought this album from the hands of a guy living in the streets, on acceptable conditions a few months ago. The price paid not even buy a can of soft drink, for example. It is part of human nature to do not value to the things that are easy conquered. It was exactly what happened with this album, stored and forgotten for months. Great waste of my part; this record is one of the best Nana Caymmi solo LPs and has the participation of Antonio Carlos Jobim and a breathtaking cast. Let's see.

This is Nana Caymmi - Nana Caymmi (1975), for CID, the second Nana Caymmi solo album, recorded after a hiatus of 10 years since her debut LP for Elenco in 1965. Nana Caymmi got married with a Venezuelan doctor and moved there in 1959. Then she came back in seven years later. In terms of comparison, this album shows a completely different artist from 1965 Elenco debut. Loronix Preview Center features 01 - Ponta de Areia (Milton Nascimento / Fernando Brant), with backing vocals by Milton Nascimento and the piano of Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim. Tracks include:
