This year, Milton Nascimento celebrates 50 years of his career, and 2012 also marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Elis Regina, who immortalized the composer’s songs, like “Maria Maria”, “Morro Velho”, “Nada Será como Antes” and “Travessia.” The artist told Glamurama that even today, when he writes a song, he still thinks of Elis Regina. "It would take ten days to explain Elis in my life. It was wonderful to have known her. I make songs thinking about her, not me. They are for her." Beautiful!
