Three of the greatest Brazilian composers of all time performed by one of the nicest voices in bossa nova. Here’s Canta Ary, Tom e Caymmi, an album that highlights the unique qualities of the Brazilian music culture. Singer, guitarist and composer Rosa Passos (Salvador de Bahia, 1952) is highly respected and loved among musicians and audience. Her soft, warm voice seems to reflect an unpretentious and kind person. By having performed in more than 35 countries, Rosa Passos is a true international star; the perfect ambassador of the music from her homeland. Although she feels it as an honor that she was given the nickname “the female João Gilberto“, Rosa does prefer to be recognized by her own musical identity. It wasn’t only João Gilberto, Rosa also listened to Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn and other jazz divas. A perfect mix for beautiful music. As we can hear on Canta Ary, Tom e Caymmi.
The music from this album comes from three songbook albums Rosa recorded for the respected Lumiar Discos & Editoria in Brazil. Letra & Música Ary Barroso (1997), Rosa Passos canta Antônio Carlos Jobim – 40 anos de Bossa Nova (1998) and Rosa Passos canta Caymmi (2000). After noticing that singer/composer Caetano Veloso sometimes couldn’t even remember the lyrics and chord settings of his own songs, Lumiar founder Aldir Chediak (1950-2003) started to transcribe and record the Brazilian songbook. The only way to preserve the music for the future. He edited 18 songbooks among which the three above mentioned ones. When Mr. Chediak was killed during a robbery in his home in Petrópolis (near Rio), Brazil was in shock. Recent negotiations with the Chediak estate earned Rosa Passos the master matrixes of her records. From those, she chose thirteen songs to be released again on a brand new album, Canta Ary, Tom e Caymmi. She asked her sound engineer Alberto Ranellucci to remaster the tapes. They’ve been working together for almost a decade, so he knows exactly how to adjust the sound to Rosa’s taste. ~Kees Schoof
