Milton Nascimento made a career in music at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Milton Nascimento as Brazilian singer-songwriter and musician.
Milton Nascimento was born at Rio de Janeiro in 1942. His recorded nationality is Brazil.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as singer, composer and guitarist.
Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.
His recorded fields of work are music.
Recognition followed: Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2012).
Working from Brazil shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Milton Nascimento is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
