Geraes is a 1976 album by Brazilian singer, guitarist, and composer Milton Nascimento. The album played a strong role in connecting Milton Nascimento's music with the American public, at the time he was already known worldwide. It features Mercedes Sosa in "Volver A Los 17", Chico Buarque in "O Que Será (À Flor da Pele)", Clementina de Jesus in "Circo Marimbondo", and the Chileans from Grupo Agua, discovered by Milton, in the tracks "Caldera", "Promessas do Sol", and "Minas Geraes", the closing track. The cover,^[3] by Cafi shows the same drawing of the Três Pontas Mountains and the train shown in the previous album insert "Minas" (1975) that now stands out in the Geraes cover and the vinyl insert with envelope paper. In the 1994 CD reissue, it has two tracks from a compact disc Milton made with Chico Buarque in 1977 for the Philips label with the tracks "Primeiro de Maio" and "Cio da Terra", which was re-recorded by Pena Branca & Xavantinho, Sérgio Reis and Mercedes Sosa herself.
