OK, let's get this issue settled once and for all.  They are not playing a balloon, a whistle or a skinned weasel.  It is an instrument called the "Cloacoa" and is played by alternatively stroking and squeezing with expulsions of air.  So, now that you know .. let's go back and listen to the nice music and close our eyes thinking about those lovely ladies dancing on the Bahia in those minuscule thongs and with those appreciable bronzed bodies ... oh my ghod .. all of that and the Cloacoa too ...

Edit:  and speaking of the expulsions of air, now there is the digeradoo ...
 
"Cloacoa"??
{#Lol}{#Lol}

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.{#Stupid}
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...

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.

Listening to a berimbau in Brazil in the evening with a cold drink will silence even the worst critic.
Posted 17 years ago by TerryS    [ Reply ]
"Berimbau" From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The berimbau is the highly annoying screeching sound a McDonald's milkshake straw creates when a user is trying to suck its contents dry and moves the straw up and down quickly in the hole in the lid. Many localities have recorded homicides and attempted homicides as a result of frequent playing of the berimbnau. Some recording artists have found favor with the ability to annoy listeners while at the same time quickly enjoying a milkshake. Sorry about the blank post earlier...boss in proximity... What I meant to say is that the berimbau doesn't sound anything like a Micky D's milkshake straw. That instrument is, in fact, a "guica"... and it can be heard on Bob Marley's "Could You Be Loved".

"Berimbau" From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The berimbau is a single-string percussion instrument, a musical bow, from Brazil. The berimbau's origins are not entirely clear, but there is not much doubt on its African origin, as no Indigenous Brazilian or European people use musical bows, and very similar instruments are played in the southern parts of Africa. The berimbau was eventually incorporated into the practice of the Brazilian martial art capoeira, where it commands how the capoeiristas move in the roda. The instrument is known for being the subject matter of a popular song by Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell, with lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes. The instrument is also a part of Candomblé-de-caboclo tradition.
