'"Sute do Pescador"' ("The Suite of a Fisherman" in Portuguese, also known as "Cano da Partida") is a song by Brazilian songwriter Dorival Caymmi, written in 1957. In 1965 a closely similar version of the song, titled "Marcha dos Pescadores" ("March of the Fishermen"), was released. The song appears in the opening and in the end of 'The Sandpit Generals' film (which also stars Caymmi, among others). "Sute do Pescador" was performed particularly by Nara Leo in 1965 and Maria Bethnia in 1999. The Brazilian band Zarabatana performed a jazz version of the song.
In 1972, Mr. Acker Bilk performed this song under the name of "Pescadores" as part of the album "Acker Bilk, His Clarinet & Strings".
"Sute do Pescador", performed by music group Akkord in the 1970s with Russian lyrics by Yuri Tseytlin, became popular in the Soviet Union and then in Russia (as performed by music band Neschastny Sluchai in 1998 year).
