Down Beat (9/00, p.67) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...His memorable melodies breathe innocence and have become a currency all their own....[His] baritone, vibrato and falsetto is a marvel to behold, sensuous yet simple, polished yet very close to his folk roots."

Milton Nascimento emerged in the late '60s as part of a new generation of Brazilian musicians and songwriters adapting the sounds of rock and pop. But even in Brazil, which has absorbed a wealth of musical traditions, Milton Nascimento is a unique artist. His soaring voice and plaintive songs have inspired and influenced musicians of all kinds who recognize the sheer soulfulness of his music, which at its best is both universal and deeply personal.
