"Geraes", a sequel to Minas, though with strong Latin American influences and the participation of the Chilean group Água and of Argentinean Mercedes Sosa is recorded. Geraes is one of the year's top selling albumsn, with lines at the stores before the doors were even open.

Still in 1976, he writes and interprets the soundtrack for the ballet Maria Maria, which is the debut of the group Corpo in Brazil and abroad.

Six years after "Clube da Esquina", Milton records a second double album, named Clube da Esquina Dois (Clube da Esquina Two), featuring Flávio Venturini, Boca Livre, Chicho Buarque, Elis Regina, César Camargo, Joyce, Francis Hime, Olívia Hime, Beto Guedes, Danilo Caymmi, Paulo Jobim, Luiz Gonzaga Júnior, Nelson Ângelo, Toninho Horta, Lô Borges, Wagner Tiso, and much more.

The soundtrack for Corpo's second show, Último Trem is written. In the same year, he launches Sentinela, and goes on his first European tour, with concerts in Switzerland, Portugal and France, where he performs for ten days at the Théâtre de la Ville, in Paris, always sold out.

Milton acts for the first time the "Missa dos Quilombos", in Recife - a mass he turned into music, and performed with a band, choir and dancers and priests in honor of Zumbi dos Palmares (a national hero, a slave who fought for freedom) in association with Dom Pedro Casaldáglia and Pedro Tierra. Dom Hélder Câmara's idea, the mass is later turned into a record, and enacted throughout the world, in places like the San Tiago de Compostela Cathedral in Spain and inside the Nossa Senhora da Aparecida Basilica, in Brazil.

He debuts in Carnegie Hall, in New York City, two days before Frank Sinatra. The demand for tickets is so great, the brazilian's performance is extended for another night. It is also in 1984 that he performed in the inauguration concert of the Praça da Apoteose in Rio de Janeiro, with an audience of over 80 thousand people.

The following year he is named a Knight of the Order of Arts of Science and Literacy by the then president, François Mitterrand.
