Gilberto Gil, Muse von Milton Nascimento sowie
Jugendfreundin und Kommilitonin des klassischen

BIOGRAPHY
OF NANA CAYMMI
|
|
REVIEWS
in
Portugese
|
- Nana
Caymmi was born in Rio de Janeiro, on April 29th 1941.
She comes from one of the most important families of
the Brazilian music scene: her father, the legendary
composer Dorival Caymmi, carried the rich traditions
of the state of Bahia, composed songs about the sea,
and wrote international hits performed by Carmen
Miranda. Her two brothers Dori and Danilo are also
important musicians. But Nana Caymmi herself is a
well-established singer, as shown by her extensive
discography and two gold records. She sang with giants
such as Milton Nascimento, Chico Buarque, Tom Jobim or
Maria Bethânia. Nana Caymmi is regarded by her
peers as "the singer's singer".
-
- Alongside
traditional popular Brazilian music, there was plenty
of room in the Caymmi household for classical music
and Nana - who started to play the piano at the age of
4 - was familiar with Debussy, Franck, Ravel or Sati.
Later, she met the pianist Nelson Freire, since they
had the same piano teacher. Nana Caymmi made her first
studio recording at the age of 19 with her father,
singing Acalanto, a lullaby that he composed for her
when she was a baby. After marrying a Venezuelan
doctor, she moved to Caracas - her love for boleros
comes from this period. Four years later, with two
children, pregnant, and divorced, she came back to Rio
and immediately won the first prize of the highly
popular Song Festival in 1966 (FIC), with a song
called Saveiros composed by her brother Dori
Caymmi and Nelson Motta. This was a turning point in
her career: after that, she met the Tropicalia people
like Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Maria
Bethânia, Gal Costa - but did not join their
movement. Then, she married Gilberto Gil and together,
they participated to the Third Brazilian Popular Music
Festival 1967, performing their song Bom Dia.
Around 1970, during the dictatorship, she often worked
in Uruguai and Argentina and recorded an album there.
With her album "Nana Caymmi" in 1975, the journalist
Tarik de Souza called her the "Nina Simone from
Brazil", and Caetano Veloso talked of her
interpretation of Medo de Amar from Vinicuis de
Moraes, as one the most expressive in Brazilian music.
-
- Over
her 50 years of career, Nana Caymmi was awarded many
times in Brazil for Best Female Singer of the Year and
recorded, 40 albums - two of them won gold disc awards
and one "Latin Grammy" in 2004. Her songs have often
been used in telenovelas. For example in 1999, her
album Resposta ao tempo - which was included in the
soundtrack of the soap opera Hilda
Furacão - sold 100,000 copies. In 2011, she
will participate to the soundtrack of a TV Novela
dedicated to her father Dorival Caymmi for TV
Globo.
-
- Even
if Nana Caymmi's career mainly grew in South America,
she also worked in the United States and performed at
international venues as prestigious as the Blue Note
in New York, or twice to the Montreux Jazz
Festival.

-
- Sem
pieguismo, Nana Caymmi em Rio sonata é uma
verdadeira declaração de amor ao Rio,
à música e à vida. Talvez seja
esta a melhor definição para o
documentário brilhantemente dirigido pelo
franco-suíço Georges Gachot (o mesmo de
Música é perfume, sobre Maria
Bethânia) dedicado à cantora. Jornal
do Brasil
-
- ...se
você ama a artista - e somos muitos -,
- o
prazer é imenso.
Estadao

-
- um
espetáculo prazeroso....Seu Rio, pouco a pouco,
vira um Rio gris, adulto, com o tom da
intérprete. Pela batuta da delicadeza, o
diretor anula polêmicas e dá a cada
canção uma ribalta. O tímpano
agradece O'Globo
-
- "Em
Rio Sonata, Nana está no lugar em que sempre
mereceu estar."
Revista
Epoca
-
- "Assim
como fizera em "Música é Perfume",
dedicado a Maria Bethânia, Georges Gachot usa
música, lirismo e delicadeza para contar a
trajetória da
protagonista."
- ...
"Por
fim, as imagens de arquivo de Dorival Caymmi e o
depoimento de Nana sobre o "Acalanto" que o pai fez
para a filha coroam uma obra de rara sensibilidade e
que, pela descendência direta do mestre,
irá para sempre ecoar junto às
forças da natureza."
