Chorinho Pra Ele, meaning Little Cry for Him, is a short Brazilian jazz piece by Hermeto Pascoal. It was released in 2013 on The Monash Sessions, a collection of Hermeto’s material from the mid-1970s that later surfaced as an album. The track runs about 2 minutes and features an ensemble including Doug deVries, Robert Burke, Mirko Guerrini, and Jordan Murray. The tune blends the traditional choro form with Hermeto’s inventive, improvisational approach—a hallmark of his boundary-pushing style in Brazilian jazz. An interesting fact is that The Monash Sessions presents this work as part of Hermeto’s archival explorations, highlighting his playful and exploratory musical language.
