Dorival Caymmi (born April 30, 1914 in Salvador da Bahia; † August 16, 2008 in Rio de Janeiro) was one of the most important Brazilian musicians. Although he celebrates Bahia and its inhabitants in his songs and is an epitome of Bahian culture in the Brazilian consciousness , he moved early to Rio de Janeiro, where he had success in the 1930s and has stayed ever since. He composed his first successful pieces for the singer Carmen Miranda, including O Que é Que a Baiana Tem?. For five decades he composed, played guitar, sang and led bands and orchestras. For many musicians of Bossa Nova, the subsequent Tropicalismo and the MPB, he was one of the most influential musicians. Gal Costa, among others, recorded an album, Gal Canta Caymmi, with Caymmi songs in 1976.
