Milton Nascimento - Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser


Brasilian pop icon, Milton Nascimento has been putting out music since the 60s and my personal favourite record of his is the imperious Parra Lennon é McCartney, which is one of those records that if you don't own you really should stop fucking about and get yourself a copy of pronto! (It's on his 1970 album Milton, which will cost you in the range of 40 sheets) I wrote a short bit on Parra Lennon é McCartney which you can read here.

Although Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser isn't as immediate as Parra Lennon é McCartney it is still incredibly beautiful and just about everything you could want from a record. My Portuguese is non-existent, so I have no idea what the title means or what the lyrics are about but it is one of those tunes that I seem to just stick on repeat from time to time and get caught up in the sublime melodies and superb guitar work. A timeless record.
