Hermeto Pascoal E Grupo – Planetário Da Gávea

Day 0 – Hermeto Pascoal: The Planetário Awakens

 

It’s here.

 

Nine days. Nine titans of Brazilian jazz. Nine steps on a path paved with polyrhythms, electric pianos, berimbaus, and voices echoing from the Atlantic rainforests and the jazz clubs of São Paulo and Rio. And now—the final step leads us to the source. To Hermeto Pascoal.

 

Tonight, I witness O Bruxo live. The man who bends sound into magic. Who hears melodies in the wind, rhythms in the animals, harmonies in the everyday chaos. Born June 22, 1936, in Lagoa da Canoa, Alagoas—Hermeto is more than a musician. He is the alchemist of Brazilian jazz. Composer, multi-instrumentalist, mystic, visionary. The ultimate connector of roots and cosmos.

 

This entire countdown has been a cosmic alignment toward this moment:

 

• Robertinho Silva’s percussive heartbeat

• Airto Moreira’s otherworldly groove

• Manfredo Fest’s keyboard sorcery

• Marcos Resende & Index’s fusion flame

• José Roberto Bertrami’s silky genius

• Egberto Gismonti’s kaleidoscopic soundscape

• Tuyo’s modern soul textures, one song with Arthur Verocai

• Azymuth’s futuristic samba

• Djalma Corrêa’s rhythmic mysticism

 

And now: Hermeto Pascoal E Grupo.

 

To mark this night, I bring with me the masterpiece that defines Hermeto's celestial madness:

🎶 Planetário Da Gávea – recorded live under the stars at Rio’s planetarium, February 1981.

 

A double album that captures Hermeto not just performing music, but creating new galaxies with sound. Animal calls, circular breathing, wild improvisation, flute storms, electric keyboards riding on waves of jazz and folklore. This concert is a ceremony of invention.

 

And tonight, I’ll be part of it.

 

This is more than the finale. It’s the Big Bang of Brazilian jazz. The living proof that music has no borders, no limits—only endless expansion.

 

Obrigado, Hermeto.

Let the concert begin.

Let the magic happen.
