In Hermeto Pascoal’s music, beneath layers of harmonic complexity, pulses an ancestral simplicity — rooted in his childhood in the backlands of Alagoas, in the town of Olho d’Água Grande. *The Boy with Water Eyes* paints an intimate and poetic portrait of the multi-instrumentalist through three lenses: the vibrant recording of a recent live performance at age 86; the evocation of tender childhood memories; and an interview in which Hermeto does what he does best — turns everything into music.
