You folks out there in MeFi Town been keeping up with the water themed MeFi Music Challenge? There's been some mighty fine uploads for you to check out! But if there was
ever a piece of music deserving the
water tag, it's this drenching wet masterpiece by Brazil's brilliant, eccentric musical genius Hermeto Pascual, in which Hermeto and his band play bottles full of water, and flutes full of water, and, well, the lake. Música da Lagoa: water music at its very best. And its very wettest.

And here we find Hermeto in a playful mood. Playing a strand of hair from his Santa-esque beard. As well as (you guessed it) a bowl of water. And a teakettle. And whatnot. Wonderful!
Anyway, these are just the tip of the iceberg: tiny glimpses into the musical world of this amzing and extremely prolific composer and multi-instrumentalist. And happily, there's lots Hermeto on YouTube.
