Música da Lagoa.
Brazilian composer Hermeto Pascoal and O Grupo play water bottles, water jugs, and the lake itself. Push play or go to YouTube. Hear more of Pascoal’s music on his MySpace page. -via Metafilter
This Hermeto Pascoal guy is very known here in Brazil due to his capacity of making music with practicall ANYTHING – from bricks and paper sheets to plastic bags and ropes.
Certain time in a festival in Switzerland he played with a hog!
The animals society protested.
The music executed in this video is a kind of celebration of his home town, ‘Lagoa da Canoa’, where he was born in 06/22/1936.
The word ‘Lagoa’ in Portuguese is meaning ‘ Lake ‘ in English.
he’s not much to look at but makes cool music. I like the concept. This is going on my myspace page.
candiru, ha ha.
this looks/sounds so much like a 70ish drugged hippie experimentation!
There are some interesting things in this video: One that, Ermeto never appears without dark glasses and principally without t-shirt in the sun. He is albino! Another fact, is which Brazilians are always with samba associated , when in Brazil exist an infinity of rhythms very little spread abroad. For the one who was already in one of brazilian jungles it must understand that the sounds of the ‘Música da Lagoa’ are the brazilian forests sound.
Why the strangers love the “candiru fish”?
