Dorival Caymmi - Caymmi (1985)

I received couple of messages with congratulations to Loronix tribute to Dorival Caymmi. However, I was not comfortable by missing the chance to introduce and remember Dorival Caymmi with music. I woke up this morning with a non schedule Mom’s visit and this album, by the way, a double album featuring Dorival Caymmi on the first LP with his violao and Dorival Caymmi at the second LP with Radames Gnattali. My mother ran to a store on Saturday, getting this one for our tribute. You should thank her for the initiative.

It is important to mention a strange coincidence here, which is the photo used yesterday on the tribute and the speeches of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Jorge Amado, Caetano Veloso and Carybe available at the first LP. Unfortunately, my scanner stills defective, delivering white stripes. I hope I can manage a new one tomorrow and update this post with this really amazing album. Let’s see.

This is Dorival Caymmi – Caymmi (1985), recorded by Fundacao Emilio Odebrecht to celebrate Dorival Caymmi 70th anniversary in 1985. This is not a commercial album, distributed only to Fundacao Emilio Odebrecht customers. Caymmi is 100% made of new recordings with Dorival Caymmi and his violao on the first LP and Dorival Caymmi with Maestro Radames Gnattali on the second LP. I’m confident this is what we need to make the best possible tribute to the Master.

God Bless Dorival Caymmi. Tracks include:
