CD Reviews

Nana Caymmi in an All-Star Session
Carlos from Rio | Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil | 08/13/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Like Shirley Horn, Nana Caymmi has stopped her career for many years to dedicate herself to her family.This studio album was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina but that should not mislead you: it is a Brazlian song album with Brazilian musicians in a small rhythm section (piano by Joao Donato, guitar by Helio Delmiro more bass and drums). Marcos Valle's "O Amor E Chama" is a sensitive rendition which pays for the album.Note: the only Argentinian part on all that is the role of producing the album!"
HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL MPB PERFORMANCES
RBSProds | Deep in the heart of Texas | 09/30/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Five Stars!! The instantly recognizable Nana Caymmi is superlative! 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 Dori, she possesses an achingly beautiful, deep rich voice that is especially good on moody ballads and will touch your heart in a special way, unlike any other singer.



'Pieces D'Resistance' abound on this CD. She sings one of the best performances of Chico Buarque's "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. 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 two Gold Records on her wall and two 'Best Female Singer of the Year' awards on her mantle, Nana 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 emotion of a 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 Solid Stars."

"Que Bonita Voce" (Oh, How lovely you are!) Indeed!!"
