En su 7º disco, la cantante fluminense Kenia Acioly (Kenia Asby, desde su matrimonio con el trombonista y percusionista Jay Ashby) (Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro) residente en USA desde 1980, 'mata a saudade' interpretando (y divulgando para el público internacional) la obra del genial cantautor bahiano Dorival Caymmi. Con su cálida voz y elegante fraseo, la cantante bebe de la riquaza melódica de la música popular de su país de origen y las recrea con sinceridad y sutileza en suave clima jazzístico.

"Ever hungry for new challenges, the sultry-voiced Brazilian enchantress Kenia, who reemerged on the jazz scene two years ago with the critically-acclaimed album "Simply Kenia", serves up one of the most demanding and satisfying projects of her three decade long career. Renowned for her ability to translate the complex rhythms of her homeland into jazzy creations that made her a star of the smooth jazz movement two decades ago, the singer digs even deeper into Brazil’s cultural legacy on this compelling and artistically rich 15-track session. She tackles the supremely melodic and culturally telling legacy of the Brazilian composer and singer who spent over seven decades creating an aural portrait of Bahia, the stronghold of Brazil’s vibrant African culture. The author of such fabled standards as “Samba da Minha Terra,” “Doralice” and “Voce Ja Foi a Bahia,” Caymmi has long been recognized as a singular figure in Brazilian popular culture, truly an artist without peers in a country noted for a profusion of legendary musicians. The involvement of sound engineer Jay Dudt, a three time Grammy-winner, assured the sonic brilliance of Kenia Celebrates Dorival Caymmi.
“Dorival’s music lies just between the two major movements in MPB. Caymmi’s music served as a kind of a smooth transition between the Samba of the 1920’s and 30’s and the Bossa Nova of the late 1950’s and 60’s. And, although he had two very distinct lines of composition, the link between these two movements is characterized by his firm foundation and understanding of Rio’s Samba, sprinkled with some Bahian spices.” To insure an impeccably authentic interpretation of this collection of Caymmi classics, Kenia employed a rhythm section of first-call Brazilian musicians. Kenia Celebrates Dorival Caymmi represents a continuation of the effort she began on "Simply Kenia" to rediscover and explore in her own distinctive way hidden gems of 20th Century popular Brazilian music. “Dorival’s compositions address two distinct themes,” she comments. “There are the songs about the sea, where he so eloquently and romantically sang of the hardships, passion and faith of the fishermen of his beloved Bahia. These are known to Brazilians as canções praianas (Beach Songs). These compositions are very sophisticated in harmony and melody, with somewhat of an ECM-style jazz sound and a very folkloric feel.” The second thematic track is equally satisfying. “He also had a particular way of writing about love, passion, sex and women that is very special,” the singer continues. “These songs have a certain swing, groove and movement. His subtlety and care with words is so natural. Dorival has a way composing that even describing a woman’s simple stroll to the supermarket becomes an amazingly charming experience both for the stroller and observers”. Kenia Celebrates Dorival Caymmi provides a unique and exhilarating way for international audiences to fall under the trance of the late composer’s incomparable artistry while enjoying the heartfelt vocals of the supremely talented Kenia and the joyous instrumental interpretations of her all-star band. “Interpreting Dorival’s songs is a wonderful consequence of my quest to reconnect with the music of my country,” Kenia acknowledges. “It has also allowed me to discover some modalities that I either forgot or was never exposed to. His music is so rich, his repertoire so vast and intriguing that I'm already thinking about what’s to follow: A sequel to Kenia Celebrates Dorival Caymmi.”
