Music

Strange, but so precious.
Brazilian musician Hermeto Pascual. 

Born albino with serious vision issues, he couldn't work in the fields like other kids, so he spent his days learning to play the accordion.  

He played with many Brazilian bands but gained international fame after Miles Davis invited him to record on his 1971 album *Live-Evil*. 

Pascoal was a master improviser, making music not only with instruments but with random objects like kettles and toys. He also loved experimenting with nature sounds.

In 1985, he was asked to participate in a film about environmental issues in a Brazilian park. Pascoal composed the soundtrack and appeared in scenes filmed at places like an old mill and a cave with stalactites.

Here’s a clip from that film. You can find the full movie on YouTube.
