I was playing back my splendid "Rio Revisited" video from a live 1987 concert featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gal Costa, and Jobim's Banda Nova with Danilo Caymmi on flute and vocals. Danilo is also an outstanding composer. On vacation in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, I was walking down the boardwalk of Leme beach and heard from a loudspeaker by a snack bar Danilo's classic composition "Andanca." It was sung by samba superstar Beth Carvalho, and "Andanca" became her signature song, as per the YouTube link below. The song was also featured on the Bossa Rio's 1970 "Alegria" album entitled "Open Your Arms." It was always one of my all-time favorite Brazilian songs. I love the call and response used during the song's chorus portion. Danilo wrote "Andanca" for Brazil's Festival of Popular Song in 1968. "Andanca" finished in 3rd place, beaten by Jobim's "Sabia" the first place winner.
Danilo is currently promoting a new album he recorded featuring the great songs from the great Brazilian pop music festivals of the late 1960s.
