Maria Maria/Ultimo Trem

by: Milton Nascimento

Release Date April 26, 2004
'Boca E Boca' is one the the highlights of this experience as it was only released in 1976 on Nana Caymmi's treat 'Renascer' with Nana's father Dorival singing Milton's vocal part....get that album as well by the way as it's for life! This is a treasure trove courtesy of Far Out records - thankyou!

Clube Da Esquina Vol.1

by: Milton Nascimento

Release Date March 06, 1995
Only discovered this fabulous album by accident, after investing next-to-nothing in a copy of the double LP found in a charity shop. I'm neither a world-music buff nor a particular fan of Brazilian music, and only gave it a spin out of curiosity. One play was enough to make me realise that it's a very special record.

The album is credited as being a Milton Nascimento/Lo Borges collaboration, who share most of the lead vocals, but others help out on the songwriting. The overall result is a very eclectic mix of Brazilian music with Beatlesish pop/rock influences. Some of the songs are very sombre and downbeat ("Cais", "Dos Cruces", "Os Povos"), others so incredibly joyful and uplifting that they will literally cleanse your soul. Sounds ... Read More:

Courage

by: Milton Nascimento

Release Date August 15, 2005
This is Milton Nascimento's first album for A&M where he sung mostly in English. Recorded between in mid-December of '68 and finished in late February of the following year, this set consists of songs he had already recorded in Brazil, in different albums, that hail from his most creative period compositionally speaking and when his voice at his peak.
Milton would go on to record in the States again and again over the years -there are rumors that there's even a reel in some vault holding songs with Crosby, Stills and Nash- yet this album as well as his collaboration with Wayne Shorter, Native Dancer, are by far the best of his output, away from his native land and language.
In part, I believe, this is due to Eumir Deodato's great arrangements ... Read More:

Pieta

by: Milton Nascimento

Release Date July 07, 2003
It's been six years since Milton last released an album of original material, Nascimento. He looked emaciated and tired on the cover and his music sounded so. There were mumblings in Brazil about the great singer having lost his compositional touch and his golden voice; even about him having a mystery illness and being on the verge of death. But Milton is not only still with us, he is back to full physical and musical health. Pietá is truly a return to his old form: the sweet mix of melancholy and sadness are here once more; as are his soaring, effortless singing and his harmonic and melodic richness and complexity.

Pietá is devoted to Milton's stepmother Lília who brought him up, introduced him to music and taught him to sing. Through the ... Read More:
