"San Vicente" by Milton Nascimento

Written before "Clube da Esquina," Nascimento wrote the music for a play about an imaginary city (which was ultimately censored). Fernando Brand wrote the lyrics, resuming the idea that San Vicente was a city in Latin America “where a military coup takes place,” a not-so-subtle metaphor for Brazil's dictatorship. With several percussive elements from the Andes and an Iberican guitar style, it became the most popular Brazilian/Portuguese song in South America in the 1970s.
