I wanted to make a correction. The barking isn’t a High Conga at all, it's a High Cuíca. The cuíca, the "squeaky drum" that gives Brazilian samba its voice! 🇧🇷 This unique friction instrument uses a damp cloth to rub an internal bamboo rod, producing high-pitched, vocal-like squeals and growls. Essential to Carnival, it’s all about rhythm, soul, and that unmistakable, joyful sound. 🎶✨ #Samba #BrazilianMusic #Percussion #Cuica

At lunch today, the cuica came up in discussion. Naturally, I had to find a video of someone playing the cuica, and it's a good one

Come to think of it, I think the #BeastieBoys uses a #cuíca in their iconic and suave track "Lighten Up" from the album "Check Your Head"

All tracks from this album live rent free in my head because I heard it a trillion times

aaargh! mastodon #music help me out. i woke up this morning with noel rosa’s #felicidade in my head, but it’s a modern (by which i mean 70s/80s) cover with a lot of #cuíca in the intro and all my searching is for nought.

please #boost because i have no idea how to reach mastodon #brasileiro and i’m gonna be earwormed for DAYS!
