Alice Caymmi is set to release her new album 'Caymmi' in early April, which exclusively features songs composed by her grandfather, the legendary Dorival Caymmi, who was active from 1914 until his passing in 2008. The album showcases a variety of musical styles rather than being strictly confined to samba. Among the tracks, listeners can look forward to 'Acalanto' from 1957 and the bolero 'Adeus' from 1948, which Alice has previously performed in her homage to her aunt, Nana Caymmi, during the show 'Para minha tia Nana'.

While the album includes several non-samba compositions, samba still plays a significant role in the collection. Notable samba songs like 'O que é que a baiana tem?' (1939), 'Maracangalha' (1956), and 'Dois de fevereiro' (1957) are also featured, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Brazilian music that Dorival Caymmi represents. The promotional activities for the album kicked off recently with the release of the single 'Modinha', which signals a vibrant outreach to both old fans of Caymmi's music and new listeners.

Alice Caymmi's project highlights her dedication not only to preserving her grandfather's legacy but also to showcasing the dynamic range of Brazilian music that transcends the samba genre. The album 'Caymmi' serves as a bridge connecting past and present musical influences, while striving to engage a broader audience with the timeless artistry of Dorival Caymmi.
