Clube da Esquina (1972)

The door into Minas Gerais. Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges's 1972 double album mixes Beatles-style chord changes, jazz harmony, church-like choral writing and folk guitars, and sounds like nothing else in Brazilian music. Start with Tudo Que Você Podia Ser, then let Cais show Nascimento's huge, soaring voice. It suits listeners who like rich harmony and long, unfolding songs.
