I have a rare and beautiful story to share about a special LP — Nana Caymmi – Nâna.

A few months ago, my nephew Joey, who goes by the DJ name DJ Nobunaga, spent two months in Brazil. I asked him if, by any chance, he could look for this specific album while he was there. It's quite rare, and I never expected much — but on the very last few days of his stay, he found it for me. Of course, it cost a bit, given its rarity, but what a beautiful stroke of luck and timing.

Three months after I finally held this treasured album in my hands, Nana Caymmi passed away. It was bittersweet — deeply sad, but also filled with gratitude. There was something so touching, even symbolic, about receiving this record just before she left us.

It feels incredibly special that I was able to get this album, not just as a fan, but as a personal, emotional moment tied to her legacy.

On this album, a few tracks are arranged with a beautiful orchestra — delicate strings and violins in the background — creating a soundscape that instantly evokes the feeling of something Arthur Verocai might have composed or conducted.
