Biography
Noted lyricist Ronaldo Bastos is known mainly for his partnerships with Milton Nascimento. But he also proved to be a competent producer -- through his label Dubas Música, he was in charge of the albums Clube da Esquina 2 (Milton Nascimento) and Amor de Índio (Beto Guedes), having being awarded for his productions for these composers and also for his work for Nana Caymmi and Toninho Horta. Bastos wrote lyrics for several other composers like Lulu Santos ("Um Certo Alguém"), Marina Lima, Edu Lobo, Toninho Horta, Caetano Veloso, João Donato, Djavan, Tom Jobim, and Beto Guedes. Ney Matogrosso recorded his "Olhos de Farol" (with Flávio Henrique) on his album of the same title.Bastos also had success writing interpretations that were recorded by Gal Costa ("Nada Mais," of Stevie Wonder's "Lately"), Beto Guedes ("Quando Te Vi," best-known from the Beatles' "Till There Was You"), and Sarah Vaughan ("Nothing Will Be As It Was," of his and Milton's "Nada Será Como Antes").
It all began in the late '60s, when Bastos became friends with Milton Nascimento in Rio de Janeiro, and this friendship was the genesis of the Clube da Esquina, as the group of composers, who were mainly from the Minas Gerais state, became known. The first song the duo wrote was "Três Pontas," followed by "Fé Cega, Faca Amolada," "Nada Será Como Antes" (which was also recorded by Elis Regina), and "Cravo e Canela" (that was recorded by Caetano Veloso for his Araçá Azul). ~ Alvaro Neder, Rovi

History
The name originated from the Municipality of Finance Bastos, Henrique Bastos property. And it was these same lands that the foundation of the city occurred on June 18, 1928, by Senjiro Hatanaka, sent by the Japanese government to look for land to receive the waves of Japanese immigrants.
After cycles of crops such as coffee, cotton, sericulture, from 1957, the council found its economic vocation: the laying poultry. The city has the largest flock of laying hens in the country and thus is the municipality with the highest production of eggs from Brazil, so the self-titling of "capital of the egg." Bastos is also the headquarters of the Brazilian city of the Egg Festival. This festival brings together not only an exhibition of innovations and products used in the poultry industry, as well as concerts and entertainment for the general population and the region of Bastos.
