Milton is considered to be one of the most significant albums in the Minas Gerais music scene of the 1970s. The album's use of diverse musical styles, dense instrumentation, and innovative studio work laid the foundation for his subsequent album, Clube da Esquina.
Recording
Milton Nascimento's involvement with cinema includes composing the theme for a documentary about the soccer player Tostão and both acting in and producing the soundtrack for Os Deuses e os Mortos by Mozambican director Ruy Guerra. The album incorporated elements from the film, such asthe songs "Maria Três Filhos" and "Canto Latino". In 1994, the album was remastered and re-released with new bonus tracks: "Tema de Tostão", "Aqui é o País do Futebol", "O Homem da Sucursal", and "Jogo." Milton also re-recorded "Pai Grande" and "A Felicidade" (a standard by Tom Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes).
The album cover, designed by Kélio Rodrigues, depicts Milton as a king. The recording sessions included musicians from the band Som Imaginário. Additional contributions came from Wagner Tiso, with guest appearances by Lô Borges on the tracks "Clube da Esquina" and "Alunar", Naná Vasconcelos on percussion and drums, and Dori Caymmi conducting "Alunar".
