Geraes is the eighth studio album by Brazilian singer, guitarist, and composer Milton Nascimento. The album played a strong role in connecting 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 album cover, by Cafi, shows the same drawing of the Três Pontas Mountains and train shown in the insert of Nascimento's previous album Minas (1975) that now stands out in the Geraes cover and vinyl insert with envelope paper. The album's 1994 CD reissue features two tracks from a compact disc Milton made with Chico Buarque in 1977 for the Philips label: "Primeiro de Maio" and "Cio da Terra", which was re-recorded by Pena Branca & Xavantinho, Sérgio Reis and Mercedes Sosa herself.
