Hermeto Pascoal is a fantastic Brazilian musician and composer. Maybe this Youtube video will serve as an introduction for English speakers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=461qtZqpOtc

(I have no affiliation with the above channel)

I've only discovered him a couple days ago while browsing youtube. I stumbled upon his "musica da lagoa" [0] video, and watching just this video was enough to see his passion for music and talent. The guy is genius.

Hermeto Pascoal is just an incredible human being. Geniuinely made of music. A few fun facts:

1) His signature massive hair started during the cellar door sessions/live evil period when Hermeto was in Miles Davis' band, he was frightened of Miles giving him evil stares so he grew his fringe really long to hide from Miles.

2) A friend[1] who is an amazing drummer was playing at a music festival and Hermeto Pascoal was one of the headline acts. Anyhow Tim got in the hotel lift to go back to his room and Hermeto got in in front of him. So my buddy is at the back of the lift with Hermeto standing in front of him (both of them facing the doors of the lift). The lift is taking ages so Hermeto starts absentmindedly playing with his shirt, making a little tune by squeaking the hem between his thumbs and forefingers. Then he figures out he can drum on the buttons with his remaining fingers. So all the while he's in the lift he's just making music with his shirt and playing a little solo concert for my friend who was standing right behind him the whole time. Then the lift arrived and everyone got out and the world went back to normal like nothing amazing had happened.

Does anyone know of a complete recorded version of Calendário do Som?

Interesting fact, Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Sivuca[0], was from the same region of the country, played the same instruments in the same styles as Hermeto and was Albino too. They were frequently mistaken for each other.

Hermeto Pascoal is on this mix from David Byrne which I recommend listening to.
