Miscelânea 32 – The Incredible Musical Journey of Hermeto Pascoal Part III – From Bairro Jabour to the World (1979 – 1992)

Summary: In the last episode of this special series dedicated to Hermeto Pascoal and his music, weacute;re gonna take a look at a very special period of his career. It begins when Hermeto goes back to live in Rio de Janeiro in 1977. He settled himself in Bairro Jabour, in the suburbs of the city and from that point on, started to dedicate all his energy to his own music, after getting tired of unsuccessfully trying to create his permanent group in Satilde;o Paulo and of the many trips he would make to the United States to play on other people's records. Hermeto was also tired of the unsatisfactory results from working with different musicians on his own works. From the moment he went back to Rio, this project (of having a permanent group he could develop his music with) gradually came to reality, finally happenning in 1981. After that happened, they stayed together for 12 years, rehearsing 5 times a week, 6 hours a day, recorded 6 albums and did a huge number of tours around the world. As they say, "the rest is history". This history is what we'll take a look at on today's show. Come in and listen!
