Grupo Um

Grupo Um is considered by critics one of the most daring, dense and radical sound experiments ever undertaken in Brazil. Formed in 1976 by the pianist and composer [a=Lelo Nazario] and his brother, drummer and percussionist [a=Zé Eduardo Nazario], who at the time played in [a=Hermeto Pascoal] band, the group stood out as a leading representative of the vanguard arisen around the Teatro Lira Paulistana, combining the rhythmic richness of popular music with contemporary languages.
