One of the most unique, and influential is the composer and multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal, who defies categorization. Moacir Santos is revered today as a giant of Brazilian music, but he struggled for recognition throughout his life.

Sivuca was an accordionist, composer and arranger, who developed a successful international solo career.
