Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stripping away heavy orchestration to feature just his voice and acoustic guitar, 'Can莽玫es praieiras' is a profound homage to the fishermen and coastal life of Bahia. Dorival Caymmi distills the essence of regional Brazilian music into intimate, hauntingly beautiful compositions. This minimalist approach profoundly influenced the subsequent generation of bossa nova pioneers who revered his rhythmic guitar style and poetic lyricism.
