Description

Up for sale is a very scarce 10 inch, 78 rpm shellac record, MADE IN BRAZIL, with two great samba songs written and sung by one of that country's most renowned musical figures of the 20th century! 

Record Label:  RCA Victor (Brasil)

Record Number: 80-0536 Year of Release:  1947 Artist: Dorival Caymmi (Com Regional)
A Side (80-5036-A) (S078762):  "Marina" (Samba, Dorival Caymmi) Wax matrix mark: "S-078762" (stamped)
B Side (80-5036-B) (S078763):  "La Vem a Baiana" (Samba, Dorival Caymmi) Wax matrix mark:  "S-078763" (stamped)
Dorival Caymmi (1914 - 2008) was born and raised in Salvador, the capital of Bahia, a state in northeastern Brazil.  He dropped out of school at age 13 and worked for several years for a local newspaper, while teaching himself music and singing his own compositions on local radio.  In 1933, he composed "O Que E Que a Baiana Tem?" (O What Is It About Bahian Women?) which was covered by Carmen Miranda.  In 1938, he moved to Rio de Janeiro with the intention of studying law while continuing to work as a journalist.  However, he soon gained musical fame and devoted himself to a performing career that extended over 7 decades.  Ben Ratliff of the New York Times stated that Caymmi was "perhaps second only to Antonio Carlos Jobim in establishing a songbook of the (20th century's) Brazilian identity."  However, Jobim himself stated that Caymmi was "a universal genius" and Brazil's greatest composer.  Remarkably, his enduring reputation is based on the relatively small lifetime output of only about 100 songs.
"Marina" was composed in 1944 and became a major hit when it was covered, in 1947, by Dick Farney.  (NOTE:  Farney is not credited on this record and I believe that the voice on "A" side is that of Caymmi, not Farney.)
"La Vem a Baiana" translates to "Here Comes the Baiana", a reference to the traditionally clothed Bahian women who were street vendors of local delicacies.

Attention US Buyers:  I will ship by USPS Media Mail or by USPS Priority Mail, your choice.  Please note that if you have a Military Mail (e.g. APO) address, I must ask that you pick USPS Priority Mail as it is my understanding that USPS Media Mail is not reliable to Military Mail addresses.
Attention International Buyers:  Unfortunately, it appears that international shipping from the US (via the USPS) has become unreliable, because of the pandemic.  Therefore, I have decided to remove the international shipping option.  You are still welcome to bid on this item, but will need to supply a shipping address in the US.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience.  Thank you for your understanding.
