Lost & Found Sounds IX: Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges - Clube da Esquina



Far and away my favourite Brazilian album of all time. It really is a magical thing. Released in 1972, it's a big dizzy rainbow flavoured stew of old & new. Traditional elements of classical and jazz meet tropicalia and bossa whilst taking in shades of records like Sgt Pepper and Pet Sounds.
Once I learn Portuguese and get to unlock the lyrical depths within this masterpiece I'll be able to die happy.

Let the music do the talking
