Bio:
Hermeto Pascoal é um compositor, arranjador e multi-instrumentista brasileiro, que toca vários instrumentos como acordeão, flauta, piano, saxofone e guitarra. Ele é conhecido por sua música experimental e surreal, que combina ritmos regionais, forró, baião, jazz e outros gêneros. Ele também é famoso por usar objetos e sons não convencionais, como bules, brinquedos, animais e água, para criar música. Ele foi chamado de "O Bruxo" e "O Mago da Música".
Pascoal nasceu em 1936 em Arapiraca ou São Brás, Alagoas. Ele era fascinado pelos sons da natureza desde criança, e começou a fazer instrumentos musicais com abóboras, canos e sucata. Ele também aprendeu a tocar acordeão com seu pai, e formou um trio com seu irmão José Neto. Ele se mudou para Recife em 1950, e depois para o Rio de Janeiro em 1961, onde se juntou a vários grupos musicais e se apresentou em programas de TV e rádio. Ele também colaborou com muitos artistas brasileiros, como Sivuca, Elis Regina, Tom Jobim e Egberto Gismonti.
Em 1970, ele foi convidado por Miles Davis para gravar em seu álbum Live-Evil. Esta foi sua primeira exposição internacional, e ele ganhou reconhecimento como músico de jazz. Ele então formou seu próprio grupo, Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo, que incluía músicos como Airto Moreira, Flora Purim e Heraldo do Monte. Ele também gravou vários álbuns, como Slaves Mass, Zabumbê-bum-á e Montreux Jazz Festival. Sua música foi elogiada por sua originalidade, criatividade e diversidade. Ele também influenciou muitos artistas de jazz, como John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny e Chick Corea.
Pascoal ainda está ativo e prolífico, e lançou mais de 40 álbuns em sua carreira. Ele também recebeu muitos prêmios e honrarias, como o Grammy Latino de Melhor Álbum de Jazz Latino em 2018, por seu álbum No Mundo dos Sons. Ele também foi nomeado Oficial da Ordem do Mérito Cultural pelo governo brasileiro, e Doutor Honoris Causa pela Universidade de São Paulo. Ele é considerado um dos músicos mais importantes e inovadores da história brasileira, e um mestre da música universal.

Hermeto Pascoal is a Brazilian composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist, who plays various instruments such as accordion, flute, piano, saxophone, and guitar. He is known for his experimental and surreal music, which combines regional rhythms, forró, baião, jazz, and other genres. He is also famous for using unconventional objects and sounds, such as teapots, toys, animals, and water, to create music. He has been called "O Bruxo" (The Wizard) and "The Magician of Music".
Pascoal was born in 1936 in Arapiraca or São Brás, Alagoas. He was fascinated by the sounds of nature since he was a child, and he started to make musical instruments out of pumpkins, pipes, and scraps. He also learned to play the accordion from his father, and formed a trio with his brother José Neto. He moved to Recife in 1950, and then to Rio de Janeiro in 1961, where he joined various musical groups and performed on TV and radio shows. He also collaborated with many Brazilian artists, such as Sivuca, Elis Regina, Tom Jobim, and Egberto Gismonti.
In 1970, he was invited by Miles Davis to record on his album Live-Evil. This was his first international exposure, and he gained recognition as a jazz musician. He then formed his own group, Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo, which included musicians such as Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, and Heraldo do Monte. He also recorded several albums, such as Slaves Mass, Zabumbê-bum-á, and Montreux Jazz Festival. His music was praised for its originality, creativity, and diversity. He also influenced many jazz artists, such as John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, and Chick Corea.
Pascoal is still active and prolific, and has released more than 40 albums in his career. He has also received many awards and honors, such as the Latin Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album in 2018, for his album No Mundo dos Sons.

"In a small world great things are possible." Mathematics in the Matrix positions creators worldwide within reach of each other, step by step by step...
In this matrix it's not which pill you take, it's which pathways you take, pathways originating in the sprawling cultural matrix of Brazil: Indigenous, African, Sephardic and then Ashkenazic, European, Asian... Ground Zero is the Recôncavo, delineated by the Bay of All Saints, earthly center of gravity for the disembarkation of enslaved human beings — and the sublimity they created — presided over by the ineffable Black Rome of Brazil: Salvador da Bahia.
("Black Rome" is an appellation per Caetano Veloso, son of the Recôncavo, via Mãe Aninha of Ilê Axé Opô Afonjá.)

THE MATRIX MISSION: What do Jimmy Cliff, Jimmy Page, and Dionne Warwick all have in common? They've all lived in Bahia and Dionne is moving back (visitors include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Spike Lee, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, David Byrne and Sting, among others). But so have lived and now live untold numbers of Bahian creators whose magisterial work has never had the major media means to reach beyond limited surroundings. In order that the creators of Bahia might have global reach, ALL creators must have global reach.

"♫ The time has come for these bronzed people to show their value..."
Recommend somebody and you will appear on that person's page. Somebody recommends you and they will appear on your page.
Both pulled by the inexorable mathematical gravity of the small world phenomenon to within range of everybody inside.
And by logical extension, to within range of all humanity outside as well.
8 billion human beings tend to within six degrees of connection to each other.
In a small world great things are possible.
I'm Pardal here in Brazil (that's "Sparrow" in English). The deep roots of this project are in Manhattan, where Allen Klein (managed the Beatles and The Rolling Stones) called me about royalties for the estate of Sam Cooke... where Jerry Ragovoy (co-wrote Time is On My Side, sung by the Stones; Piece of My Heart, Janis Joplin of course; and Pata Pata, sung by the great Miriam Makeba) called me looking for unpaid royalties... where I did contract and licensing for Carlinhos Brown's participation on Bahia Black with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock...
...where I rescued unpaid royalties for Aretha Franklin (from Atlantic Records), Barbra Streisand (from CBS Records), Led Zeppelin, Mongo Santamaria, Gilberto Gil, Astrud Gilberto, Airto Moreira, Jim Hall, Wah Wah Watson (Melvin Ragin), Ray Barretto, Philip Glass, Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd for his interest in Bob Marley compositions, Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam and others...
...where I worked with Earl "Speedo" Carroll of the Cadillacs (who went from doo-wopping as a kid on Harlem streetcorners to top of the charts to working as a janitor at P.S. 87 in Manhattan without ever losing what it was that made him special in the first place), and with Jake and Zeke Carey of The Flamingos (I Only Have Eyes for You)... stuff like that.
Yeah this is Bob's first record contract, made with Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd of Studio One and co-signed by his aunt because he was under 21. I took it to Black Rock to argue with CBS' lawyers about the royalties they didn't want to pay (they paid).
I built the Matrix below (I'm below left, with David Dye & Kim Junod for U.S. National Public Radio) among some of the world's most powerfully moving music, some of it made by people barely known beyond village borders. Or in the case of Sodré, his anthem A MASSA — a paean to Brazil's poor ("our pain is the pain of a timid boy, a calf stepped on...") — having blasted from every radio between the Amazon and Brazil's industrial south, before he was silenced. The Matrix started with Sodré, with João do Boi, with Roberto Mendes, with Bule Bule, with Roque Ferreira... music rooted in the sugarcane plantations of Bahia. Hence our logo (a cane cutter).
