Electra (album)
''Electra'' is the fourth album by Brazilian singer Alice Caymmi, released on 27 May 2019. It was produced by Caymmi herself and DJ Zé Pedro, who helped her choose the repertoire, and recorded in just two days. The album features only Caymmi and a pianist ( Itamar Assiere), with no additional musicians involved. Background and promotion The album sees Caymmi singing alone and accompanied by a piano. The first time she performed this way was in August 2014, when she promoted a spectacle called "Um Piano Bar no Inferno" (a piano bar in Hell) with Helio Flanders. Exactly four years later, she would repeat the format in a show in Salvador, Bahia, with the name "Para minha tia Nana" (for my aunt Nana), due to the fact that most of the repertoire consisted of songs by Nana Caymmi, her aunt. By the time of those shows, she was already talking about her intention of releasing a piano & voice album. About the general atmosphere of the record, she said in an interview that she commente ...
