This review is from: Nana Caymmi (Audio CD)

Five SUPERB Stars!! The instantly-recognizable, acclaimed Brazilian diva Nana Caymmi is a superlative songstress! Nana can always be counted upon for great vocal performances, and this CD is no exception. The daughter of singers Dorival Caymmi and Stella Maris and sister of singer/guitarist/composer Dori Caymmi, she possesses an achingly beautiful, deep rich voice that is especially good on moody MBP (Música Popular Brasileira) ballads and can uniquely touch your heart in a special way. This hard to find CD was previously released as Em Buenos Aires which is an alternative buying route to the music.

'Pieces D'Resistance' abound on this CD. She sings one of the best performances of Chico Buarque's beautiful "Atras Da Porta" (Behind the Door) that you will ever hear, spurred on tremendously by a spectacular arrangement and full strings. Also of special note on this CD is a wonderful loping performance of Joao Donato's "Ahie" (an uncredited Joao reportedly accompanies Nana on keyboards on this CD along with super guitarist Toninho Horta); "Rosa Morena" (Dark Rose) is pure joy to hear and one can hear how much Nana enjoys singing it. The powerful show stopper "Dora" is achingly evocative of great love. "Pra Voce" is superbly poignant. Are you starting to get the notion that this woman continuously produces POWERFULLY TOUCHING PERFORMANCES? You bet she does!! And of course, there are five of her dad's wonderful compositions that she absolutely nails. Special kudos to the guitar/keyboard performances which add considerable depth and beauty to these proceedings, probably Joao Donato on piano and Toninho Horta on guitar: super stars in their own right.

With many Gold Records on her wall and two 'Best Female Singer of the Year' awards on her mantle, Nana Caymmi should be in everyone's collection. Don't miss this one. I play it over and over. Portuguese is not one of my main languages, but it allows easy transmission of the essential beauty and emotion of each song. Considering the fact that she took ten years off to raise her family, we are so lucky that Nana returned to singing. But then, Nana Caymmi was BORN TO SING. Enjoy!! Five SAUDADE Stars."
"Que Bonita Voce" (Oh, How lovely you are!) Indeed!
