Hermeto "Bruxo" Pascoal is a globally renowned Brazilian composer, arranger, bandleader, and multi-instrumentalist. His work crisscrosses virtually all Brazilian folk styles with jazz, classical, funk, and MPB. With a massive head of white hair (he's albino), Pascoal worked with Airto Moreira on Quarteto Novo in 1967. Moreira and Flora Purim co-produced his debut, Hermeto, in 1971. Pascoal's iconic trilogy from the decade includes 1977's Slaves Mass, 1979's Zabumbê-bum-á, and 1980's Cérebro Magnético. He self-released the eponymous debut by Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo in 1982, and in 1986 released the seminal Brasil Universo. 2006's Chimarrão com Rapadura and 2010's Bodas de Latão were collaborations with vocalist Aline Morena. Pascoal's relationship with England's Far Out began with 2017's Viajando Com O Som, an unreleased 1976 studio session. In 2022, Planetário Da Gávea -- a previously unreleased 1981 O Grupo performance -- and a thoroughly remastered reissue of 1971's Hermeto were released.
Hermeto Pascoal has also released music as a member of Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo, Hermeto Pascoal & Big Band, and Quarteto Novo.
