Description
Undeniably one of Brazil’s greatest stars, Milton Nascimento is the man whose transformative early work fusing Africanized jazz with Latin-American folk allowed an entire generation of artists to free themselves from bossa nova.

An excellent guitarist, a singer with an astonishing tonal range and a prolific composer, he is one of those performers whose concerts remain forever etched in the memory. His 2013 world tour Milton Nascimento – Travessia celebrates a 50-year career, featuring the greatest classics songs in his repertoire.

‘One of Brazil’s national treasures’ New York Times
‘The word inventive can’t describe him as well as the world original can. For he is on his own, a movement’ Caetano Veloso
‘Milton is a brilliant composer; he has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. His melodies are of a simplicity that just hit the core of your heart’ Herbie Hancock
