5.0 out of 5 stars
Afro-Brazilian outing from an old samba master, February 2, 2007
This review is from: Caymmi (Audio CD)
Songwriter Dorival Caymmi was one of the key figures in the history of samba-cancao pop... He wrote many classic songs, including some of Carmen Miranda's hits in the 1940s. Caymmi continued recording well into the 1950s, '60s and '70s... This is a reissue of an unusual album from 1972 that features lots of traditional Afro-Brazilian oba drumming and Bahian candomble music. It's very different from Caymmi's acoustic guitar-based music of earlier decades. If you liked Virginia Rodrigues's use of candomble rhythms in her albums of the 1990s, you might also want to check this album out.
