Clube da Esquina by Milton Nascimento

Clube da Esquina

Milton Nascimento
1972 · Belo Horizonte, Brazil
MPB

This one's sprawling, almost double-album ambitious, and it earns every minute of that length. Nascimento's voice floats over arrangements that shift from folk guitar to full orchestration without ever feeling forced. "Cravo e Canela" is the entry point if you're new to it — bright, urgent, impossible to sit still through. MPB rarely gets this rich harmonically; this is the record people point to when they want to prove that.
