A
gig
held at St George's Bristol
on Monday 2nd May. The event starts at 20:30.
Joined by NYJO, the legendary Brazilian composer & mulit-instrumentalist returns to the UK for a farewell big band tour.
Hermeto Pascoal is the stuff of Brazilian music myth, known as ‘O Bruxo’ (the sorcerer) he is a vital figure in its history.
On stage he has an almost spiritual connection to the other musicians, as they blend busy percussion, break-neck bossas and sambas and endlessly modulating melodies creating a scampering, swirling party atmosphere that includes the whole room, players and audience alike.
