Danilo Caymmi

Danilo Candido Tostes Caymmi (born March 7, 1948) is a Brazilian musician, singer, composer and arranger.

[3] As a composer, the first of his works to be recorded was the music for De Brincadeira, in collaboration with Edmundo Souto, in the voice of Mário Castro Neves in 1967.

[4] Danilo Caymmi won third place in TV Globo's Festival Internacional da Canção, third edition in 1968 with Andança (written with Edmundo Souto and Paulinho Tapajós).

As was the case with Andança, this song served to launch another new star, this time Jovem Guarda music style outfit Trio Esperança vocalist Evinha.

[7] A year later, Caymmi borrowed money to record and produce 10 thousand copies of his first independent work and most well known compilation Cheiro Verde.
