Milton Nascimento & Lo Borges

Milton Nascimento & Lo Borges released their album “Clube Da Esquina” in 1972. At the time Brazil was 8 years into oppression under a military junta without any viable resistance. The song “Clube Da Esquina No. 2” resonates a feeling of nostalgia for a simpler time filled with memories, emotions, love, friendship, and the passage of time. Milton Nascimento beautifully expresses these feelings and emotions through his delicate voice. The song captures the essence of Brazil’s rich and diverse musical heritage and has become an influential classic among the Brazilian music scene with elements of bossa nova, samba, and folk. Enjoy!
