The live experience
What reaches the room
Hermeto Pascoal, born June 22, 1936 in Lagoa da Canoa, Alagoas, Brazil, was a self-taught musician who built instruments from found objects, earning the nickname O Bruxo (The Sorcerer) for his fearless sonic experimentation. A pivotal figure in Brazilian and global avant-garde music, Pascoal expanded the possibilities of sound across jazz, Brazilian roots, and experimental music. His career took a major leap when Miles Davis invited him to contribute to Live-Evil (1971), cementing his international reputation. Pascoal continued to push boundaries throughout his life, releasing a final lifetime album, Pra Você, Ilza, in 2024. He passed away on September 13, 2025, leaving a lasting legacy in modern music.
