Brazuca Sounds #52: Milton Nascimento - Milagre dos Peixes and more

In episode #52 we talk about the album "Milagre dos Peixes" by Milton Nascimento, released in August 1973.

Following the success of "Clube da Esquina" in 1972 Milton reunited with his band Som Imaginário to produce a follow-up as good (or better) than his previous masterpiece. "Milagre dos Peixes" had its lyrics heavily censored by the military regime, so it became an experimental endeavor of sonic aspirations and instrumental tracks.

We also discussed the album "Matança de Porco", released by Nascimentos' backup band Som Imaginário, led by Wagner Tiso. And finally, "Beto Guedes, Danilo Caymmi, Toninho Horta, Novelli", an obscure but fundamental album from members of the Clube da Esquina's collective.

To finish off this episode, we discussed the elemental contributions of Naná Vasconcelos to "Milagre dos Peixes", and his two epic percussive-centric albums released in 1973.
