Milton Nascimento
















Milton Nascimento is a talented Brazilian singer famous for his fantastic songs. His musical style is expressed as “Bossa Nova”; a Brazilian type of music derived from jazz.





















Milton grew up listening to music. His mother was a music teacher and his father was a radio station owner. His first musical instrument was a harmonica, which was given by his grandmother. She also gave him an accordion, which enchanted him so much, that was the “turning point” for his musical life.

In 1962 Milton recorded his first song “Barulho do Trem” and from that date on he has recorded more than 30 albums. Some of his greatest hits are: “Maria, Maria”, “Canção da América”, “Travessia” and “Coração de Estudante”.

















His personal charisma and musical skills turned him a world-famous singer. In 1998 he was awarded with the Grammy of the “Best World Music Album” and in 1991 and 1995 he was also nominated for the Grammy.





















He is simply brilliant and that’s why he is one of my favorite singers!

Luiz Gonzaga - Brazilian Composer



















Luiz Gonzaga was born in Exu, Pernanbuco, on 13th December of 1929. He was a popular composer. He learned to like music listening to presentations of the “nordestino” musicians in fairs and religious parties. When he lived in the South of Brazil, he did a little of everything. He began to play those good songs from the distant Northeast. He composed two “chamego” – a kind of forró – typical Brazilian music: “Pés de Serra” and “Vira e Mexe”. He knew that the radio was the only place to expand his music, and he chose a program from Ary Barroso. In the show, he played “Vira e Mexe”. He won the first place in a competition with that song. This event opened the way for him to have his first contract in a national record label.

Luiz Gonzaga was the symbol of the music from Northeast of Brazil. He was the first “nordestino” musician and he sang about pain and love of people that didn’t have any “voice”

In many years of race, he has never lost his prestige. His talent deviates attention from the public. When Luis Gonzaga died in 1989, his career was firm and grateful. He reached the award “Shell the Music Popular Brazilian” in 1987. His rough sound crossed barriers and conquested all Brazilian people. He represents the people with simplicity and dignity.
