This 1980 recording proved to be one of Milton Nascimento's most durable. Here was his incredible voice, growling one minute, soaring into falsetto the next, laidback yet aggressive. The record opens with an amazing dirge to a dying brother, sung by Nascimento and Nana Caymmi, backed by a group of Christian monks. On other, more uptempo tunes he is also joined by the great Mercedes Sosa (on Cuban poet Silvio Rodriquez' "Dram with Serpents"), the vocal ensemble Boca Livre, and on three tracks by the experimental percussion ensemble Uakti. The songs are imbued with Nascimento's worldly sensibility, mixing the music of Minas Gerais with a broad collection of sounds from Latin America and the jazz world, tinged with classical and medieval themes. Not as wildly experimental as his "Clube da Esquina" recordings of previous years, this is a mature, thoughtful album.
