"Cloacoa"????  The name of the instrument is CUÍCA. Perhaps you've been influenced by the first sillable of the word, which means asshole, literally, in Portuguese.  And the music has nothing to do with brazilian places or people (maybe it's similar to some crap played on shows at tourist restaurants). Only in those stereotype-driven minds... |

I laughed my ass off at that comment... yes, I don't care for the sound of that "instrument" either. He's got much better music than this! Really.. this is crap compared to some of his better stuff. |

Fun toe-tappin' stuff, but I do wish they'd quit torturing that guinea pig :o). 7 from the Nottingham jury (would be 8 with a skinful of beer and a dance floor).

lol. i had a similar thought.
sitting here enjoying the tune so decide to rate it in case I want to own it later.
then I see the cover and think, "damn... a blond Yanni... there's no way."
so the guy on the cover cost it at least a point or two. |

A pleasant enough tune, but I could do without the damn police whistle in the background.

Dudes that look like Favio, play music that sounds like John Tesh...
This song is neither Brazilian nor Mexican, it's elevator music.
