Copacabana Connection – Episode September 19, 2025

Program: Copacabana Connection

Length: 180 minutes

Hermeto – Copacabana Connection (09/18/2025). On today’s show: George Duke’s Brazilian Love Affair, Chick Corea’s Return to Forever, and above all, a heartfelt homage to Hermeto Pascoal — the legendary “Bruxo” of Brazilian music, who passed away last week at the age of 89. Revered for his genius in transforming everyday sounds into symphonies, Hermeto left behind a legacy that defies borders and genres. The last hour of today’s program is dedicated entirely to his life and music, from playful experiments with water and birdsong to collaborations with Miles Davis and his final love letter to his late wife, Ilza.
