Airto Moreira (born August 5, 1941) is a Brazilian jazz drummer and percussionist. He is married to jazz singer Flora Purim, and their daughter Diana Moreira is also a singer. He currently resides in Los Angeles.
Airto Moreira was born in Itaiópolis, Brazil, into a family of folk healers, and raised in Curitiba and São Paulo. Showing an extraordinary talent for music at a young age, he became a professional musician at age 13, noticed first as a member of the samba jazz pioneers Sambalanço Trio and for his landmark recording with Hermeto Pascoal in Quarteto Novo in 1967. Shortly after, he followed his wife Flora Purim to the United States.
After moving to the US, Moreira began playing regularly with jazz musicians in New York, including the bassist Walter Booker. Through Booker, Moreira began playing with Joe Zawinul, who in turn introduced him to Miles Davis. At this time Davis was experimenting with electronic instruments and rock and funk rhythms, a form which would soon come to be called jazz fusion. Moreira was to participate in several of the most important projects of this emerging musical form. He stayed with Davis for about two years, touring and participating in the creation of the seminal fusion recording Bitches Brew (1970).

We want it, let's take it
We're going deeper inside
To change the pattern, let's make it happen
You know it's only a ride
This time there's no mistaking
It's not your mind
It's your money I'm taking
It's not our problem, yeah
That's inconceivable
Man why can't I have it all
It's keeping us all alive
Till it all comes tumbling
Till it all comes tumbling down
Wake up in your own mind
Don't sing along with me
Do anything, it's alright
Don't sing along, don't sing along with me
We've got it, you crave it
We're going deeper inside
To change the pattern, to make it happen
A sonic bomb for your mind
TV was a lame invention
Just selling you crime prevention
Burn down your station, yeah
Turn off 'cause the radio's rocking
Now days just nothing's shocking
You know we just don't care
Till it all comes tumbling
Till it all comes tumbling down
Wake up in your own mind
Don't sing along with me
Do anything, it's alright
Don't sing along, don't sing along with me
Wake up in your own mind
Don't sing along with me
Do anything, it's alright
Don't sing along, don't sing along with me
Wake up in your own mind
Don't sing along with me
Do anything, it's alright
Don't sing along, don't sing along with me
Wake up in your own mind
Don't sing along with me
Do anything, it's alright
Don't sing along, don't sing along with me
Wake up in your own mind
Don't sing along with me
Do anything, it's alright
