Context
In December 2020, isolation meets a partnership spanning more than twenty years. Mônica Salmaso and André Mehmari bring Milton Nascimento's songbook to Estúdio Monteverdi in São Paulo. The Quarentena experience had already produced Morro Velho, the starting point for devoting an entire project to this musical world.
Mônica chooses the songs; André makes just one request, Paixão e fé. The session brings together voice, piano, and glass marimba, with Teco Cardoso joining on two tracks. A terceira margem do rio connects Milton and Caetano's composition with Guimarães Rosa's short story. In Credo, a quotation from San Vicente emerges.
The recording reaches the public as part of the celebrations of Milton's eightieth birthday in October 2022. The album arrives on streaming platforms on the honoree's birthday, and the performance receives a full audiovisual release. Between the session and the release, one central choice remains: bringing together songs the two partners know through years of making music together.
- Teco Cardoso alternates between bass flute and soprano saxophone in two guest appearances.
- A terceira margem do rio brings together song and a reading of Guimarães Rosa.

Trivia
Paixão e fé is André Mehmari's only request in the repertoire selected by Mônica Salmaso.
Teco Cardoso appears on two songs, each with a different instrument.
Morro Velho began as a recording for the Quarentena project and inspired the tribute devoted to Milton's repertoire.
