History of Clube da Esquina

In 1963 Milton Nascimento moved from Três Pontas, in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, to the capital Belo Horizonte, in order to work in Belo Horizonte. He took a place to live at the Levy building. The Borges Family, including Márcio Borges, already lived there. One day, after watching François Truffaut's movie Jules et Jim three times in a row, Milton and Márcio started composing (Milton already played in some bars of Belo Horizonte): Márcio wrote the lyrics, and Milton wrote the music. Since then, Márcio always played a great role in the history of Clube de Esquina as lyricist, mainly together with, at a latter stage, Fernando Brant. The first album (Clube da Esquina) from 1972 was followed by another one in 1978 (Clube da Esquina no. 2), that contains tracks written by authors that were not part of the group (e.g., Chico Buarque). Clube da Esquina was, and is, surely bsed on the voice of Milton Nascimento (and, mainly at the beginning, Lô borges too), voice that many times takes the place of the instruments, making the composition as a contour to Milton's singing. Minas Gerais is one of the states of Brazil, the second most populous in the federation. ...
