ALBUMS DVDs SOUNDTRACKS LYRICS SHEET MUSIC

  • "Always running ahead of his time, above what was agreed and being much more than one could ever imagine, Milton's sound, restless and distressed, with the quiet unfailingness of one who is steady on his feet despite all his pains" Edu Lobo

  • "Bituca is the boss of me" Chico Buarque

  • "Milton has this magnanimity, this vibe of a soul that knows it's big" Gilberto Gil

  • "Milton is a brilliant composer; he has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. His melodies are of a simplicity that just hit the core of your heart" Herbie Hancock

  • "I've never met anyone who had bitter feelings for him. Discrete, Milton became famous without ever putting on a King's crown" Dorival Caymmi

  • "The word inventive can't describe him as well the word original can, for he is, on his own a movement" Caetano Veloso

  • "My Yauaretê, my true jaguar. You are the king of the forest, of the Brazilian woodland, my spiked taquaraçu, my carioca-mineiro, my love, my dear, truthful uirapurú. The bird lover." Antônio Carlos Jobim ( The words Yauaretê, taquaraçu and uirapurú are references to Brazilian animals and folklore)

  • "You came up slowly, humble and took over my body forever. Filled my days with beauty and reason to live" Lilia Silva Campos, Milton Nascimento's Mother

  • "His melodies are extraordinary. They're unique. Milton Nascimento is most likely the greatest brazilian song writer since Jobim/Gilberto" Paul Simon

  • "If God sang, He would do it with Milton's voice" Elis Regina

  • "As a Brazilian asset, Milton's cultural value can't be measured in commercial figures only.
    Milton's treasure can be divided in ways not yet imagined." Wayne Shorter
