Due to popular demand, today Coco presents a CUICA SPECIAL! Cuica is one of the most notorious and loved instruments featured in Brazilian music - yet one of the most mysterious: sweet sounds and unusual approach. The tone it produces has a high-pitched squeaky timbre. It has been called a 'laughing gourd'. Many also liken its sound to that of a monkey. She selected some of my favourite songs that feature it. Tune in!
