The sorcerer of sounds | Oslojazz 2025
Hermeto Pascoal is a living legend on the Brazilian music scene and has been active since the 1950s, with absolutely no plans of stopping anytime soon. Pascoal is an iconic composer and multi-instrumentalist, widely known for his distinctive and inventive approach to composition and instrumentation. He finds inspiration and sounds in almost everything around him, shaping it all into a musical and colorful celebration.
Bossa nova, samba, and jazz are just some of the many ingredients mixed into this powerful brew. It’s no wonder he’s called "the sorcerer of sounds".
It’s always a grand celebration to experience Pascoal and his band Grupo unfolding on stage—you never know what might come around the next musical bend. Grupo is the very mothership of Pascoal's explorations and has been a loyal musical companion for many years. We promise you an unforgettable and sensory concert experience with Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo this evening.
