Dorival Caymmi was one of the great songwriters of the Carmen Miranda-era 1930s samba scene... later he became a recording artist with sort of a folk-ish bent...This is a rather stunning 7-CD set that reissues twelve Dorival Caymmi albums in their entirety - dating back to the mid-'50s, and working up to his early '70s material with his children. An additional CD's worth of cover tunes is also included, with versions of Caymmi's best-known material recorded by artists such as Joao Donato, Dick Farney, Elza Soares, Orlando Silva, and Clara Nunes. Just for reference, they are: "Cancoes Praieras" (1954), "Sambas De Caymmi" (1955), "Eu Vou Pra Maracangalha" (1957), "Caymmi E O Mar" (1957), "Ari Caymmi E Dorival Barroso" (1958), "Caymmi E Seu Violao" (1959), "Eu Nao Tenho Onde Morar" (1960), "Caymmi" (1965), "Caymmi" (1973), "Caymmi Tambem E De Rancho" (1973) -- a selection that omits his mid-'60s Elenco albums (which are now part of the PolyGram catalog) and late-'60s material on RCA, but skips over to include some of the early Famalia Caymmi efforts. It's a pretty awesome collection, full of bonus tracks as well as a fab booklet filled with great info and several cool archival photos. Recommended!

I grew up with Dorival Caymmi music in Brazil and this collection takes me right back to the 1950 when we first arrived there. The sound is very authentic. The melodies are often great. In a compilation this big there are always dud numbers regardless. Current Brazilian music does not have the simplicity or directness and innocence of these songs. I have been looking for some of my favorites for years and I found man more than even imagined.
