Aqui, Oh!

Featuring the music of Ricardo Bacelar
Duration: 4:47

The brilliant Brazilian multi-instrumentalist and singer Ricardo Bacelar joins forces with two Grammy-nominated legends of contemporary jazz—Airto Moreira and Flora Purim—for a stunning rendition of “Aqui, Oh!”, written by the great guitarist Toninho Horta and originally recorded by Milton Nascimento.

Airto, who will be honored as an NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) Jazz Master in April 2026, is widely regarded as one of the most influential percussionists in jazz history. He has recorded iconic albums as a leader for CTI, Artista and Warner, and has also appeared as a sideman with Miles Davis, Chick Corea (as a founding member of the original Return to Forever), Carlos Santana, George Benson, Freddie Hubbard, Eumir Deodato, Hubert Laws, Keith Jarrett, Joni Mitchell and many more.

For her part, Flora Purim was widely acclaimed as one of the most innovative jazz singers of the 1970s and was voted DownBeat magazine’s “Best Female Singer” for five consecutive years. In addition to a series of best-selling solo albums for Milestone, Warner and Concord, she has collaborated with Dizzy Gillespie, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, Gil Evans, George Duke, Joe Sample, Mickey Hart, Duke Pearson and Stan Getz, among others. Purim received her third Grammy nomination in 2022 for the album If You Will.

The single, along with two upcoming albums by Flora Purim and Airto Moreira scheduled for release in 2026, is produced by Ricardo Bacelar. The project is accompanied by a documentary film directed by the award-winning filmmaker Jom Tob Azulay, capturing behind-the-scenes footage of the recordings at Bacelar’s state-of-the-art Jasmin Studios in Fortaleza, Brazil.
