 There have been few musicians to reach the stature of Brazilian master Hermeto Pascoal. Dubbed by Miles Davis as “one of the most impressive musicians in the world”, he is a composer, producer, and self-taught multi-instrumentalist who has been an influential figure in Brazilian music for over half a century. Known as O Bruxo (“the Wizard”), his music is inspired by sounds of nature and he often incorporates  unconventional objects (including a teapot and toys) in his performances, proclaiming that “everything is an instrument”. He will be joined by his “Grupo” including his son Fabio Pascoal, Itiberê Zwarg and his son Ajurinã, André Marques, and Jota P.

Greg Caz is a veteran DJ known
particularly for his Brazilian expertise among a wide variety of other
genres, who has been by Forró In The Dark’s side from the very inception
of the band at Nublu almost two decades ago.
