Noites do Norte

Noites do Norte (lit. 'Nights of the North') is a studio album by Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist Caetano Veloso, released in December 2000 on the record label Mercury. Inspired by writer Joaquim Nabuco, it addresses the theme of slavery in Brazil, incorporating these influences with Veloso's perspective, including a mix of unreleased songs and old hits by the singer, such as "Nosso Estranho Amor", "Tigresa" and "Menino do Rio". In 2001, the album earned Veloso a Latin Grammy Award, winning the Best MPB Album, in addition to nominating for the Best Engineered Album.
