Dori is the son of Dorival Caymmi and Stella Maris, both famous Brazilian musicians. He began playing piano at age eight, studying under L?cia Branco and Nise Poggi Obino. He studied music theory at the Conservat?rio Lorenzo Fernandez, and in 1959 made his professional debut accompanying his sister, Nana Caymmi. In 1960 he became a member of Grupo dos Sete, who wrote music for plays aired on Brazilian television. He co-directed and played viol?o in the play Opini?o (1964), an important transitional work between the styles of bossa nova and MPB. He directed the play Arena Conta Zumbi in 1966, and worked as a producer during this time as well, for Edu Lobo, Eumir Deodato, and Nara Le?o (all recording for Philips Brazil). He and Nelson Motta wrote the song "Saveiros", which, performed by Nana Caymmi, won the national prize and came in second for the international prize of the IFIC (International Song Festival) held by TV Rio. They continued to partner as songwriters for several years, writing some of Brazil's biggest hits.
