The album saw highly original songs by Milton, already an award-winning international star, sharing vinyl with those of Lô 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e33 1\/3 Global\u003c\/b\u003e, a series related to but independent from \u003cb\u003e33 1\/3\u003c\/b\u003e, takes the format of the original series of short, music-based books and brings the focus to music throughout the world.
