Christian Sisson's Café do Brasil poster, designed for the Norway dairy producer IsKaffe, inspired by the music of Villa-Lobos. Villa loved strong coffee, as illustrated by this story by Nadia Sebastian, harmonica virtuoso John Sebastian's widow:
"It was one of my joys to work with John and Villa-Lobos during the writing of the Concerto. The composer sat at the huge semi-circular desk with a pot of black thick coffee, several cigars and ashtrays all around working on several compositions at once, while watching a TV at intervals. All the time wearing a hat..." "Villa-Lobos in Israel," in Villa-Lobos: Collected studies by L.M. Peppercorn, p. 242-3.
