5.0 out of 5 stars Caymmi is a Brazilian Family of Music Masters, December 25, 1999

Some artists like Andy Williams loved Dorival Caymmi for his traditional Brazilian sambas. Some like Mark Murphy and Johnny Mathis love Dori Caymmi, son of Dorival, for his modern harmonies, arrangements and particular vocals. If you search for a good reference in Brazilian Modern Song, this is a good bet. BTW, his sister Nana Caymmi sings one track in the CD. Also a master singing.

5.0 out of 5 stars An almost forgotten gem in the Brazilian music realm, June 17, 2002

This review is from: Dori Caymmi (Audio CD)

This CD is one of my favorites. The music is a comforting blend of Brazilian and jazz. The songs are very simple yet its sometimes the simplicity of the songs that make them so heartfelt and warm. I actually kind of consider this more of a winter album because I often listen to it more during the winter because of it's very lonely evening sound. 1993s Kicking Cans is warmer in sound and even better but this 1988 gem must never be out of print permanently. It's hard for me to describe how much this album has meant to me all these years because I grew up listening to this album as well as Kicking Cans and because of this I would never ever give these albums up not even for a million dollars. They are that precious. This album while it came out WAAAYYY back in 1988 doesn't sound dated at all even less than music that came out five years afterwards. Dori Caymmi is a Brazilian master at the acoustic guitar and I wish he would,ve had more notice here in the US considering how awful pop music has become here lately. Go and get this CD immediately when it becomes available again in Amazon or if you find it at a CD store. Its worth the hard search. And get Kicking Cans too. They are both incredible works of art.

If you like brazilian music, and love acoustic guitars and breezy tropical/soothing-like music, this is the best album you can find; it does not get any better than this; do yourself a favor, purchase this CD immediately once it comes back to availability.
