Info for Hollywood Rio (Remastered)

Hollywood Rio blends the sounds of this Brazilian chanteuse's roots with the cinematic music of Los Angeles. The album is Ana Caram's tribute to the music of Hollywood. Combining her sultry voice and passionate Brazilian flare with L.A.'s cool electric sound, Caram sings such Hollywood classics such as "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca. Together with Michel Friedenson's rich electric orchestral arrangements, Hollywood Rio is a 21st century look at Hollywood's past.

"Some singers can transcend time--their works of today capture the essence of an earlier period without imitating that earlier sound. With Hollywood Rio, Ana Caram has created a timeless disc. Drawing from torch songs of the 30's, early bossa nova hits, 60's rock and contemporary ballads, she breathes new life into each selection. Very romantic, very musical and very, very well done!"

Ana Caram
was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1958. She comes from a musical family and studied guitar and flute in her younger years. Later, she attended Sao Paulo University and earned a degree in composition and conducting. After her education, she became a protégé of Brazilian Bossa Nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Caram toured Brazil as well as internationally, building a considerable following. At a jazz festival in Finland, she met Paquito D’Rivera who invited her to New York City to perform in his band during the JVC Jazz Festival at Carnegie Hall. A representative of Chesky Records happened to be in the audience and made Caram an offer to record her first album, Rio After Dark, which was released in 1989. Since then, she has made eight albums for Chesky Records, including 1992’s The Other Side of Jobim, which is a tribute to her mentor. She has appeared in numerous publications including Audiophile Sound, Acoustic Guitar, and Audio Plus. Today, she continues to give concerts, primarily in Brazil.

This album contains no booklet.
