Hermeto Pascoal is another eminently bearded Brazilian you should be investigating through the majesty of the intarwebs. Hermeto is a jazz musician renowned for his ability to turn anything into a musical instrument.
In this video clip, we see Mr. Pascoal talking to his dentist, and then proceeding to swipe all of said dentist’s gear and make songs on it. He starts out with the ’saliva sucker’ and then eventually moves on to some of the more pain-weilding implements at the disposal of your neighborhood dentist. High-pitched whirring never sounded so beautiful.
I’d like to think that every time this dude goes anywhere he begins making music with whatever’s handy, like some warped real-life Björk video, only with more beardage. I picture him arranging puppies so that as he lightly smacks them they yip a little tune, or wreaking havoc in Bed, Bath and Beyond. Please Mr. Pascoal, we have to ask you to leave the wastebasket section and pay for your things. Here’s another video of him playing with an ensemble of seemingly American Apparel briefs-clad men, in what appears to be some part of the Amazon rainforest.
I think this is his most popular clip of him on YouTube, but there are many others to check out if it strikes your fancy. I recommend the kind of unbelieveable clip of him playing music with his own beard like it was a musical saw. Seriously.
