BAHAMUT,

the cosmic beast.

Half fish, half bull.

40,000 horns with eyes

40,000 mouths with

40,000 teeth with

40,000 tounges ​​and

40,000 ears.

A creature that inhabits an island. The island is a giant volcano. The creature is not a friendly being. Cave of Lives in one, your nest. Dark, hot and very humid. It is not clear where the air begins and where the water ends. Breathing is a vibration that makes land and sea tremble, creating tsunamis as if they were rays of sunlight. A lot of steam leaps from your breath that covers the greenish smoke island. Bahamut is the one who carries the Earth, he determines whether it breaks in itself or not. He is guardian and destroyer. When the last eruption was caused Bahamut woke up. He woke up with a roguish smile, his teeth shining like crystal mirrors. And those eyes … madness stands out above all. They don’t blink, they just look, they look frozen. Thus, the body floats from side to side, drunk and heavy.
He is not from this world.

Closing Performance that represents the eruption of BAHAMUT. Percussion by Kauê Gindri.
