Bobby baby, Bobby boobie
His royal highness finally walked onto the stage 2 HOURS after the stated show time, and 3 hours after one is told to arrive to get seating. And it wasn't all that special anyway, but what arrogance!Written on Nov 06 2009

Milton Nascimento is a renouned performer, and his show sounded promising enough. But because it started 3 hours late, we had to leave after 35 minutes to catch the last metro train. What a waste!Written on Nov 08 2009

It was just awful,awful,awful. The staff at Conga Room was very incompetent and did not know how to direct the customers. We had to wait for 3 HOURS before the concert began. Doors opened at 8pm and it started at 11PM!! How long does anyone have to wait until a show starts. Conga Room had only four rows of seats provided and the rest had to stand. I was expecting to hear an amazing performance but after the first song I felt that it was just best to go home and not waist anymore time.Written on Nov 06 2009
I do not recommend going to "The Conga Room" for any event and Milton Nascimento is not really a world class musician.

More Information About Milton Nascimento
Description
The love affair between jazz and Brazilian music started in earnest with bossa nova. But the romance reached soaring new heights with the emergence of Milton Nascimento in the late 1960s. More than any other performer, Nascimento has been instrumental in developing Brazilian music beyond traditional styles and popularizing these modern sounds around the world. Beguiled by his multi-octave voice, which can rise to a clear, rippling falsetto and descend to a rich, resonant cello tone, many jazz masters sought out Nascimento as a collaborator and composer. Herbie Hancock recorded a series of albums with him, starting with the 1969 CTI album Courage. And Wayne Shorter’s 1975 landmark Native Dancer made an indelible mark on the history of both jazz and Brazilian music.
More recently, Milton won a Grammy® Award (for 1997’s Nascimento), three Latin Grammys, and he’s collaborated with a host of pop superstars, including Paul Simon, James Taylor and Peter Gabriel—even Duran Duran. After recording nearly 40 albums as a leader, Nascimento finally paused to look back upon the music he helped modernize in 2008, recording the acclaimed album Novas Bossas, a tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim, with Jobim’s son, grandson and a few original bandmates.
Jazz musicians continue to explore Nascimento classics like “Travessia,” “San Vicente,” and “Ponte de Areia” (with which bassist and vocalist Esperanza Spalding opened her hit 2008 album Esperanza), but the Brazilian superstar remains the most thrilling and evocative interpreter of his own music. He appears on this date with an all-Brazilian band.
