last 100 years that can fit into the "beyond genius": Noel Rosa,
Cartola, Jobim, Pixinguinha, & Dorival. It is interesting to note that
he was only a few years younger (4 to be exact) than Noel Rosa, but
managed to outlive him by 70+ years.
Dorival Caymmi e seu violao is one of my favorite albums:

There is a great album/dvd of his compositions done by his kids from
2004 or so.
There are also a couple of lumiar songbooks of his compositions that
I've found useful.

Yeah, it's amazing what Noel accomplished in his tiny little window of
26 years on planet Earth.

I think Dorival was also a noteworthy source of cultural weight too.
His mighty sand-and-sea reference, songs, album covers, clothing, etc.
served to make frame the beach life. Neither the first nor his alone,
he certainly helped spread that as a cultural icon nationally and
internationally.

"Caymmi is the only one I know who was at the same time a Gershwin and
a Bing Crosby (or an Al Jolson), a prefiguration of the author-singers
of the 1960s and later: Gilberto Gil, Bob Dylan, João Bosco… There’s
the case of the bluesmen, like Robert Johnson, or of the French
troubadours, like George Brassens. But without entering into the
artistic quality intrinsic to any of them, Caymmi was something they
weren’t: an author like Cole Porter or Ary Barroso, overarching, many-
hued. And he was what neither Barroso nor Porter could be: the best
interpreter of his own songs, above all when alone with his guitar."

A very interesting point.
