Right at the beginning? Is that an instrument or a person? I hear it often in latin music especially but I have no idea what makes it.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Waco, TX | | | To give you an idea how it works there's what kind of looks like a little drum...maybe looks a little bit like half a bongo or something, and it's got a stick inserted right into the middle of the underside of the drum head and it descends down into the inside of the "drum". You insert your hand into the body and rub the stick back and forth to create the noise. To me the cuica in this song sounds kind of synthesized but what do I know.
Remember that song from the Beastie Boys "Check Your Head" album that had a low cuica sound in it? At least I think it was Check Your Head. It's been a while.

I always wonder if they just didn't know it was a cuica, or if it was just too inconvenient to bring one to the gig for the one song.  |

Anyway thanks for the answer. I need to add this to my list of miscellaneous percussion to acquire.
