Fahey once said that Bola Sete’s music came from a time “when people were closer to themselves, God and each other”.

listening to Sete for the first time was “a turning point … I couldn’t sit still. I’d never heard anything like it since Charley Patton, and this was better. I was transformed, purged – I was not the same.”

Carlos Santana:

"to hear him play was to be in the presence of “something multi-dimensionally divine”.
The Brazilian musician was “an orchestra by himself”.

jazz guitarist Scott Hesse, also a music professor at DePaul University in Chicago:
“From the first note, he had the people in the palm of his hand and then took them on a journey throughout the entire set.”

Su compañera: Sete’s last works reveal a highly spiritual musician, inspired by the philosophy of yoga. “After Bola mastered the full lotus position, he told me that musical information could come in without any obstructions. Music, he said, required him to get out of the way,” says Anne, recalling that they loved going to the Marin County beaches and practising yoga on the sand.
