Lo Borges

Lo Borges, member of the Clube da Esquina, is a composer of several hits like "Um Girassol Da Cor Do Seu Cabelo" and "Paisagem Da Janela," recorded by Milton Nascimento, Toninho Horta, and other top artists.

Raised in Belo Horizonte, Borges was a childhood friend of the other soon-to-be famous members of the Clube da Esquina, like Milton Nascimento, Wagner Tiso, Toninho Horta, and others. At 19 he participated in Nascimento's Clube da Esquina LP, sharing the composition of the title track. He also wrote, from that album, "O Trem Azul," "Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser," and "Nuvem Cigana." In 1973, he released his first solo album, Lo Borges, followed by A Via Lactea (1979) and Os Borges (1980). Nascimento's Clube da Esquina 2 (1978) brought Borges' "Ruas da Cidade" and "Pao e Agua." He also recorded Nuvem Cigana (1982), Sonho Real (1984), Solo (1987), and Meu Filme (1996).

I'm wondering if you have a way to connect with Lo Borges. I've written a book in the US (1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die) and his first solo album is on it.
If you happen to know a management contact or anything, please pass it along.
thanks!
