MILTON NASCIMENTO performs at the new CONGA ROOM at LA Live on
Thursday Nov. 5 at 8pm.
International singing superstar and songwriter Milton Nascimento may
have his roots in Brazil, but his songs have touched audiences all
over the world. Born in Rio, Nascimento's adoptive parents, brought
him to Tres Pontas, a small town in the state of Minas Gerais, when he
was two.
Milton has developed an extensive international career in 1995 for
his Warner Bros. debut, Angelus. Nascimento was the winner of the
1992 Down Beat International Critics' Poll and the 1991 Down Beat
Readers' Poll. Nascimento has toured throughout the U.S., Europe,
Japan, and Latin America.
His lengthy discography includes Courage, a 1969 album for A&M and
Milton Nascimento that same year for EMI Odeon; Milton, also for the
EMI Odeon label, recorded in 1970, and then four more albums for the
label EMI Odeon: Clube da Esquina (1972), Milagre dos Peixes (1973),
Milagre dos Peixes (Ao Vivo) (1973), and Minas (1975).
His other titles include Native Dancer (CBS, 1976), Geraes (EMI Odeon,
1976), Milton (A&M, 1977), Clube da Esquina 2 (EMI Odeon, 1978), A
Brazilian Love Affair, a collaboration with George Duke (CBS Records,
1980), Journey to Dawn (A&M Records, 1979), and a series of five
albums for Ariola: Sentinela (1980), Cacador de Mim (1981), Missa dos
Quilombos (1982), Anima (1982), and Milton Nascimento ao Vivo (1983).
This charismatic Brazilian superstar just won't slow down any time
soon, and whether he's packing a stadium in Brazil or singing at a
club in New York, his experienced stage persona allows everyone in the
audience to feel as if they're in his living room. On Angelus, was
joined by saxophonist Wayne Shorter, who pays tribute to Nascimento's
1975 Native Dancer LP, the high point of which was the synthesis
between Nascimento's voice and Shorter's saxophone. That album helped
to solidify Nascimento's place on the international jazz and pop scene
in the 1970s. Whatever he writes and sings about, be it the planet,
ways of living, and loving and dying, his music has always carried an
eternally optimistic spirit. As he entered the millennium, Nascimento
won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Pop Album for 1999's Crooner at the
first annual Latin Grammy Awards in fall 2000.
His latest CD a collaboration with Jobim Trio is a superb work where
you find new interpretations of Jobim's compositions as well as
Miilton's classics.
The concert at the CONGA ROOM is bound to be very special. Milton
sings classics transforming, with his voice, the nigh into magical
one.
