Hermeto Pascoal’s Mothership
Nave-Mãe brings together the musicians who have accompanied Hermeto Pascoal on stage and in the studio for decades, now offering tribute concerts with a 100% Hermeto repertoire.

The program spans several eras (classics, rarities, and recent works) in the Maestro’s arrangements. The set-list is crafted for each date to celebrate the composer, multi-instrumentalist, and "wizard" who has released over 35 albums, composed more than 10,000 pieces, and forged concepts like Música Universal and Som da Aura.
