Does anyone know the name of the squeaky instrument in Brazilian music?
Wow, I just watched a video on how to play the Cuica. I never would have guessed a drum makes that sound.What is the Brazilian instrument that sounds like a monkey?
Cuica
This is a musical instrument called Cuica (sounds like kooweeka and no, it's not the name of an up and coming startup in Silicon Valley). “The Cuica is a Brazilian friction drum with a large pitch range, produced by changing tension on the head of the drum.
I was shocked too when I googled it to find the answer. Neat stuff !Wow, I just watched a video on how to play the Cuica. I never would have guessed a drum makes that sound.
