He died on Thursday (1), at the age of 84, due to heart problems. The death was confirmed by the artist’s brother, also musician and composer Danilo Caymmi. She had been hospitalized for nine months in a clinic on. In networks, friends and admirers also paid tribute to the singer. “An immense loss for Brazil’s music,” wrote musician João Bosco, with whom Nana shared stages and microphones. Bosco also had songs played by Nana Caymmi, as when love happens.
The singer said the country loses one of his greatest singers and he, particularly, a friend. “Rest in peace, Nana dear. We will miss you so much, your voice will continue to touch our hearts.” Alcione also says she lost a friend and that the interpreter, daughter of Dorival Caymmi, had “the voice.” “Who can forget about Nana Caymmi?”
“Far, I hear this voice that time will not take! Nana of the biggest, the greatest of the greatest,” posted singer Monica Salmaso, who had already paid tribute to Nana last Tuesday, when the artist turned 84. “Cathedral voice,” said Monica at the time.
The writer, screenwriter and playwright Walcyr Carrasco said that this Thursday, Brazilian music should be silent in respect of the artist’s match. “May your voice follow where there is longing. My feelings to family, friends and admirers!”
The federal deputy and former mayor of Sao Paulo Luiza Erundina (PSOL-SP) said that Nana Caymmi had one of the “most striking voices of Brazilian popular music” and that the singer leaves an “extraordinary legacy” to Brazil through “unique and loaded interpretations”. “May her art go live, and may she rest in peace,” said the parliamentarian.
Artist Eliana Pittman says she says goodbye to Nana Caymmi’s sadness, whom she described with one of the “of the greatest voices” that Brazil has had, and praised the singer for irreverence and strong personality.
“Nana never bowed to conventions: she sang what she wanted, the way she wanted – and so she marked generations,” said Eliana, who also praised the interpreter’s technical quality. “His serious voice, his unmistakable timbre and his particular form of existing in music leave an irreparable void.”
The MPB4 group posted: “Follow in peace, dear Nana Caymmi! Our fraternal hug to friends Dori Caymmi, Danilo Caymmi (brothers of Nana Caymmi) and the whole family.”
