In 1972, a group of creative Brazilian musicians and poets
informally led by singer-songwriter Milton Nascimento recorded a
landmark double-LP titled Clube da Esquina (Corner Club). The album
saw highly original songs by Milton, already an award-winning
international star, sharing vinyl with those of Lo Borges, an
unknown eighteen-year-old from Belo Horizonte, the capital of the
state of Minas Gerais. There, where the street "corner" still
exists, grew their collective also known as the Corner Club, as the
artists collaborated on many subsequent albums boasting innovative
blends of pop, jazz, rock, folk, classical influences, and, before
Brazil's return to civilian rule in 1985, poignant protest songs
aimed at a cruel dictatorship. Drawing on a thirty-year
relationship with Minas Gerais that includes interviews with Corner
Club members and extensive research of Portuguese language sources,
Jonathon Grasse presents an analysis of the artists, songs, and
ideas comprising the LP that helps define this Brazilian
generation. 33 1/3 Global, a series related to but independent from
33 1/3, takes the format of the original series of short,
music-based books and brings the focus to music throughout the
world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian
music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of
Australia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.
