Milton Nascimento - Clube da Esquina Volume 2

Milton Nascimento's ambitious follow-up to the groundbreaking Clube da Esquina came back in 1978. Spanning two discs, Clube da Esquina 2 maintains the collective, genre-blurring spirit of its predecessor while deepening its emotional and political scope. The lyrics tap into Brazil's social contradictions of hope and despair, beauty and hardship with lush, experimental melodies and busy, prickly rhythms. Across its varied textures, Nascimento blends MPB, jazz, rock and regional grooves, all shaped by a growing circle of collaborators including Elis Regina, Chico Buarque and Lo Borges. It's a bold, poetic reflection on Brazil's past and future with Nascimento's unmistakable voice at the centre.
