Drawing on more than 70 interviews with her grandfather and meticulous research, the author reveals Dorival's meteoric rise from his arrival in Rio de Janeiro in 1938. Within a few months of active activity in Rio's music scene, he became famous as the author of the samba that gives the book its title. \"The inspiration behind this work was to critically select important and central themes from Caymmi's testimonies, especially those that caused tension and difficulties in his career, which could reveal some of his fundamental characteristics and shed a little more light on that period,\" states the author. The song *What Does the Baiana Have?* was released by the superstar Carmen Miranda in film, radio, and on record. Following this success, Dorival gained recognition as a singer through his performances on Rádio Tupi, Rádio Transmissora, Rádio Nacional, and Rádio Mayrink Veiga. The author analyzes Caymmi's importance in Carmen's career, his interactions with his colleagues, and the conflicts between artists, broadcasters, record labels, and the press. Also highlighted in this rich snapshot of Caymmi's career is the influence of left-wing intellectuals such as Jorge Amado, the groups of businessman Carlos Guinle, and the composers involved in the fight for copyright. They appear as important figures in the artist's development, who reached the peak of his career precisely during this rich period in Brazilian cultural history. \"Caymmi serves here as a role model and, at the same time, a guide through the intricacies of the period. This doesn't mean that their careers or opportunities were equal (...), but the objective of this work is to provide a glimpse into the 'rules of the game,'\" says Stella. Brazilian popular music, after a long period of development marked by the emergence of modinha and lundu, underwent a phase of consolidation in the late 1920s. With its core genres—samba, choro, and marchinha—consolidated, it acquired its own personality and integrated itself into the 20th-century reality. Contributing to the success of this period, known as the Golden Age, was the arrival of an extraordinary generation of singers, composers, and musicians, at the same time as electromagnetic sound recording, radio, and talking pictures arrived in Brazil. Thus, by a happy coincidence, the work of these artists was the first in Brazil to enjoy the privilege of being recorded and disseminated through these technological innovations.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159552278780,"sku":"9788520011317","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/1ed495aee34c5c72acc432b61c79a510.jpg?v=1778318849"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/stella-caymmi.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
