Nana Caymmi e César Camargo Mariano
1983
Why This Album Matters
Voz e Suor is a milestone in Brazilian music, the result of the acclaimed partnership between Nana Caymmi and César Camargo Mariano, released in 1983 by EMI-Odeon. This work celebrates the expressive union of one of the country's greatest voices with the arranging and pianistic mastery of one of its most innovative musicians. The album is acclaimed for its harmonic and melodic sensibility, being frequently described as a masterpiece and one of the best voice and piano recordings of all time. Its exceptional quality solidified the reputation of both artists, presenting a sound that transcends time.
Context
The recording of Voz e Suor fulfilled a long-held desire of Nana Caymmi and César Camargo Mariano, as revealed by producer Renato Côrrea of Odeon Records. For this project, Nana was responsible for the repertoire selection, while the arrangements were meticulously elaborated by Mariano.
Recording
The album's creation process was remarkably efficient: the repertoire selection took three months, but the studio recording was completed in just five days. Renato Côrrea acted as producer for the EMI-Odeon record label.
Songs
From the album's repertoire, the song "Neste Mesmo Lugar" gained a music video.
Legacy
Voz e Suor achieved significant commercial success, surpassing the fifty thousand records sold mark. TV Bandeirantes recorded a special of César Camargo Mariano and Nana Caymmi's show at Maksoud Plaza, featuring the album's repertoire, with show direction by Roberto de Oliveira. The album was received with great acclaim by specialised critics. The newspaper Diario de Pernambuco classified it as "the best album of 1984", and Matias José Ribeiro described it as "exceptional", reaffirming Nana as one of Brazil's greatest singers. Arnaldo de Souteiro, from Tribuna da Imprensa, compared the album to Elis & Tom by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Elis Regina, from 1974, and Manchete magazine elected it the best album of the year in the MPB and POP categories, even surpassing Michael Jackson's Thriller. Its lasting impact is evidenced by its inclusion in the list of the 500 greatest Brazilian music albums from the Discoteca Básica podcast, occupying position 387. Voz e Suor is the only work by Nana Caymmi and from César Camargo Mariano's solo career to feature on this list. More recent critics, such as Regis Tadeu and Sérgio Martins, continue to extol it as "completely brilliant, with incredible harmonic and melodic sensibility" and "one of the best voice and piano albums of all time", respectively.
